    I wouldn't threaten to pull out unless I meant it. I would start by telling the parties when your mortgage offer will expire

    Before panicking nearer the time contact your mortgage broker and they may be able to arrange an extension to the offer.

    First of all,  by reading your other threads it might  be advisable to keep stress levels to a minimum . I know that is easier said than done,  we are on a very tight timescale too but not down to mortgages .

    I'm not particularly au fait with mortgages but why won't your own company extend for a short time , I'm not sure what your broker has flatly said no.

    If your sellers seller is holding things up there maybe a reason which won't get sorted anytime soon so you need a contingency plan.

    Possibly look at other properties just in case this isn't viable , at least then you will feel a bit more in control
