I sold my source code to a client, can I now re-build similar code and sell to someone else?

So we built a website and software for a client, charged our fee and handed over the code.

The client then got a request from another company about the software. The client passed on the request but said since they owned the code they would need to recieve money for it.

I'm thinking there are 2 options here:

  1. Work with the client as requested

  2. We've actually re-built the software, made it much better and use it for other projects. Am i in my rights to sell that direct to the company that enquired about it instead of going through the client?

Any help on this would be much appreciated
