Stress around buying house, slow sellers and effects on our sale

Thanks for the responses. We have been harassing the solicitors and seller's estate agent regularly since we found out paperwork wasn't submitted quickly but things are still going slow. Their solicitor or buyer are taking time replying to enquiries. I guess we just have to tell our buyer and hope for the best. Yes, I think they have given notice on their rental before they actually had any dates confirmed.

The sellers are a couple that have split but were not married but yes that seems to be the main problem, estate agent indicated some kind of tit for tat stuff which has slowed down communication and handing in paperwork.

Sounds like the reduction in price is not approved of in this forum, I just feel we've been messed about during this process and paying top whack for the privilege!

how would you feel if your buyer comes along and says, "ive been waiting longer than I thought so im knocking 5 grand off the price"

I wasn't planning on knocking 5 grand off, more 1500 so not quite a drastic amount! I get your point though.

Then it's certainly not worth putting the sellers' backs up for such a paltry sum, or giving them any excuses to bicker over a response.

Okay, point taken.
