Move to rented if they were serious perhaps
That would be ideal.
But a lot of people can't be bothered with the hassle of moving twice, and would prefer to take the selfish option of keeping everyone else waiting. If they have a particulalrly special property they are probably confident in the knowledge that they will easily find another buyer, or that the buyer they have will be very patient, knowing that they can't buy something similar elsewhere.0 -
Thanks for the replies. Had a phone call from the estate agent today that the vendor has found somewhere and it is vacant so hopefully things will finally start moving!0

Oh I have similar situation.
My offer has been accepted 2 months ago. Until now, we have not received any draft contract at all!!
I am buying a property with a probate. The sellers should not look for any property to buy, right?
There are 2 sellers. One of the sellers has not sent the paperwork to the seller's solicitor yet!
I tried to ask estate agent many times what causes delay. The estate agent can just keep chasing seller's solicitor. No explanation of the cause of delay. I want to be polite and do not want to upset sellers. Any advice?0 -

According to the agent and one of the sellers (that I could reach. This seller is the main contact and she is a representative of both sellers), they confirmed that the probate has been granted.
There are 2 sellers/ executors who have to agree with everything. Both sellers have accepted my offer.
The estate agent and seller's solicitor just keep saying that they are waiting for one of the sellers (that I do not have a contact details) to send paperwork back to the seller's solicitor.
I do not understand what may cause the delay.
