Honestly we need to know a date as renting but landlord very flex with everything but same point i dont want to keep saying yes we need another month here at the end of every month.
Yea we just want a confirmed date at this stage even if they say a date in April that be fine but all we keep getting is time scales off them.
what more annoying is the fact they added a condition after we signed

Why does your LL even know yet? You don't need to say 'another month'. You know you automatically enter a periodic/rolling contract?

Cause we had a 12 month lease which was up in Jan 2020. So we needed to inform him.

No you don't - you just automatically go onto a rolling contract. No need to speak with your LL if you choose not to. No need to sign up for another year (or whatever) and no need to renegotiate a contract.

If I were you I would start looking at other houses. It will make you feel better whilst they faff about. Its possible you will also find one that you love so much you're prepared to start again with a new purchase despite the sunk costs.

very true we have been looking online. We may get back out there. Just annoying after signing the contract the seller then adds in another condition when he signs it. So we just dont know how much long we can take it been left in the dark 1 step forward 2 steps back

hi all just an update
Seller confirmed completion date of the 18th March. So got our funds in order etc for this day surprise the seller wasn't ready to move as his funds haven't been issued for his new house. It is now the 23rd and still no movement we keep getting told it will be tomorrow. So Friday we were told it will be today the 23rd but nope still nothing. Seller and his solicitor saying they are chasing to get funds sent. We were able to have our funds within 2 days its over a week and they still dont have theirs according to them. i guess nothing i can do but just wait?

I've read the thread but nowhere (unless I've missed it) do you say if you are Exchanging & Completing on the same day or not.

Seller confirmed completion date of the 18th March.

So this is in the contract, and Contracts have been Exchanged? If so, you can demand all costs you have incurred eg removal company (if they were booked and you had to pay them); hotel (if you had nowhere else to live); pay (if you took time off work); etc etc

Of course, if you had not Exchanged, then the statement above is not strictly (or legally) true....

Sorry yes contracts are signed exchanged deposit sent etc
Yes i think your right i may have to start been more direct. They wont move until they have their fund to move into their build as they want to sell and purchase on the same day

Selling and purchasing on the same day is the norm! I have done it several times. Be patient. You are experiencing the normal stress of house buying.

Thanks so much 
just annoying when its been changed 4 times at this stage. They picked the first date we were able to have our funds ready but they werent able to.

I think its getting to us now cause its nothing on our end and cant control

Given the speed with which events are happening this is perfectly understandable. Look at the bigger picture. A few days is nothing. Nor do you have any idea as to what's happening in their personal lives.

If you've exchanged contracts your conveyancer should be serving a 'Notice To Complete' on the seller, and claiming your costs. But why are you not demanding to know from your conveyancer what to do?
