    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!

    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. 
    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! 
    How many parties in the chain? 
    Just us, them, and the seller of the property they are buying, so 3 in all.
