Who's demanding anything?

All I've done is ask. Morals or not I just want to know what I'm entitled to. If everyone stopped taking the moral high ground here and actually read what I'm posting maybe you'd all understand a bit better.

Not once have I said I want to sue anyone...

People are reading what you've written. It would appear YOU have forgotten your own words.

BUT if I am entitled to something I want it regardless of other people's
circumstances, you won't make me feel guilty for sueing a dying woman should it
come to that, I have my own family to look out for and that's what I'm doing,
regardless of other people's issues

I dont think you even can sue #3, your contract is with #2, the ones who are always on holiday.

So afaics you can sue away with peace of mind!

No I can't! That's morally wrong and people all over the Internet will be falling off horses before the Internet itself actually explodes!

I think the simple point is: taking morals (which are subjective) out of the equation. What has happened, isn't fair to the OP, and he should be compensated for the inconvenience.

Obviously the #3 seller has more important worries than money.

So a possible solution would be for buyer #2 to walk away from their purchase, find alternatives, and for seller #3 to pay towards the moving costs.

I believe this is fair. It is not #1 or #2's fault this has happened, and they are out on money.

As your solicitor advised. A judge while acting in accordance with the law. Has the power to consider mitigating circumstances. So the outcome is uncertain. Potentially costly if you are forced to pay your court costs.

No, you can't sue because you have agreed not to. You should have left the contract in place and then they would be breaching it.

You both agreed to rescind the contract. This puts you both back to the position you were in before the contract was signed - it's as if it never existed. So, there is no contract, therefore no one has breached anything.

If both people haven't agreed to rescind the contract, then you can sue them for breaching it. But in this case, you don't want the house anymore so I'd keep quiet - otherwise they can force you to buy the house or lose your deposit if the contract still exists.
