Incompetent Halifax

Where do I start. Halifax have already lost us our first house purchase due to their slowness. Now it seems we are going to lose our second one We have told them all along we may not sell our house for a month but we have the funds to purchase another one. But the mortgaes are running side by side for one month but no no more. They have now changed their mind and said house sale must be at completed before they will release funds for new property. We have a cash buyer for our property now we have told the halifax this our solicitor had told them this. But again now they are dragging their feet. They told is one thing and now telling us something else. They lost us the first property as they couldn't decide whether to accept my husbands wages as he was self employed for 2 years they asked to fax letter after letter. Wage slip after wage slip accountants letters Hmrc paperwork and then sat on it. So we lost that. Now they playing another game by moving the goalposts again. Does anyone have amy advice??? Please I'm in tears here I've had enough
