First Direct Mortgage Porting problems

Looks like we managed to miss all the clues that our mortgage wouldn't get ported, and FD are digging in their heels and not admitting that all the information was not available.
We got agreement in principal to port the mortgage to a new property, and started the assessment. We were told it was OK to have up to six months gap between properties/mortgages. The first property then sold before the assessment had completed and the porting dropped out of the system. But we were NOT told that selling the first property would do this, at any stage until it had happened.
Anyone else with this problem?
