We had an offer accepted on the 29th of March and the vendor is apparently chain free but, as of today my solicitor has still not had any paperwork through from the seller's solicitor. My solicitor has chased them up but still nothing. The vendor sold through Purplebricks and I am aware of their reputation but still.....are they taking the mick?

What have they said to your solicitor about the delay / likely date for delivery of paperwork?0

Why is the property "chain free". The answer may lie within.0

Chain free is so variable .. they really might be in a good position to proceed as living somewhere else, or have gone off round the world and become uncontactable. Could also be probate which can either be very quick or horribly long0 -
If you have the vendor's address I would write to them. I think its frowned upon to have direct contact but my buyer turned up at my door and asked to exchange numbers. This made me nervous but, if we hadn't done that, my sale would have dragged!0
