By "our seller's" sic you mean the vendor? I'm not sure where they think they would find another purchaser in the current market. Politely call their bluff and ask them to take the pressure off or you'll pull out.Signature on holiday for two weeks0

I had something similar with the sale of my flat earlier this year. My solicitor asked me to pay for a management pack from the local authority and then later I realised that I also needed to request and pay (much more) for the management pack from the company we had appointed to actually manage our building, collect service charges etc.
There was no ground rent payable on the flat I sold, and it wasn't and never has been a local authority owned/managed building, so I am still not sure what that pack requested from the LA was all about.
In the context of property sales isn't it usually just worth paying these things and moving past them?0
