    Ok, well update time again!

    So, the gentle negotiation process failed with the vendors' solicitor stating they didn't want to entertain any further correspondence. They've now been given formal notice that we'll be seeking specific performance through the courts in what is now a little over 7 working days. Specific performance is basically an application for the court to force completion of the sale (with costs awarded).

    So unless I come back with good news in the next week, the next update will be court dates I'm guessing!

    I have been away and have just read through the latest postings, hoping that the vendors may now have seen sense but obviously they haven't. Maybe now they will see sense and sort things out before any court date. Fingers crossed for you.

    Hmmm, no update on the "communication" - hopefully because WW is packing, and not because she is drowning her sorrows while banging her head repeatedly against a wall! :confused:
