Can’t exchange / complete until subsidence building works

OP are you continuing to purchase the house with subsidence for a particular reason?
or is it just a case of you are caught up with the purchase and feel its a mountain to climb to get out of it.
The house must be pretty special and you must wish it to be a family home for the next 20maybe 30 years....
others would run a mile,potentially myself included.
Whilst it may seem the best option at present to continue especially in light of how difficult it was to sell your property and the chain that exists there...if you cant afford to rent whilst the situation is sorted out on the purchase then you really need to consider if the whole move is still feasible.in S 38 T 2 F 50

before you agree to buy the house with the unresolved subsidence issue, you should check that you will be able to get buildings insurance once the property is fixed, at reasonable rates. it might be that many insurers will not want to insure you, and this will push your premium up given the history of claims at the site, despite that the risk has been fixed. This could end up causing you untold cost. Be very careful - i would proceed with the flat sale and find another house to buy or rent once sold.0
