    Where you named as executor in the will ? Have you applied for probate?

    He has 'letters of administration' so either no will or the named executor was unwilling or unable to proceed I guess...

    No will I done probate myself to get letters of administration. I have spoke with various people etc and they have said that’s all I need. I didn’t have a solicitor to do probate because it was straight forward in gaining letters of administration. I thought that was all I’d need. I have adverse credit so the current mortgage wouldn’t accept me. My mortgage offer is in place, I have had valuation.

    Then brief your solicitor fully and take their advice on how to proceed, it sounds like they didn't grasp what you were doing or they wouldn't be waiting for a contract...
