PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for all the input folks! So it looks like, as I suspected, we’ll just have to keep chasing & hope they eventually pull their fingers out!0

Just us, them, and the seller of the property they are buying, so 3 in all.Thrugelmir said:
How many parties in the chain?dpj2006 said:
Their personal circumstances are that one of them has a disability that means they need to move to a property without stairs, no nothing that would hold things up - they are buying another property & the EA has assured us there are no problems with their purchase, which is why we’re so confused as to why their solicitor won’t share progress updates with us. We don’t want to keep bugging the EA when the problem lies with the solicitors!Thrugelmir said:What the vendors "personal circumstances" ? Might provide some background to what's causing the slowness.
Are the vendors purchasing a property themselves?
Solicitors work their clients and most importantly on their instructions.0
