* tell the buyers you are not willing to reduce the price
* start marketing the property again unless the buyers re-confirm the original price agreed and show evidence of progress in their purchase

Thank you very much for this, I will definitely tell the estate agent/solicitor to convey this to the buyer and see what they say from that

Note that I've edited my post as I got the timescales reversed!

So as it was built in 1962, over half a century ago, there will not be modern certificates to present, they never existed. So tell them to FRO. Or rather, tell your solicitor to tell them the date it was built and explain.

Someone has already said, it looks as if they are looking for excuses to reduce the agreed price.

When you think about it, either they are happy with the building or they aren't. 25k doesn't make any difference. They either want it or they don't. It's not up to you to pay for any renovations they may choose to carry out.
