“
so as i am still awaiting a response from solicitors ... you might know the answer to this.
Could I not just go to the vendors solicitors and collect a copy of the missing forms? Considering noone can bloody talk to each other atm

Yes; you could give it a go- although they may get precious and say that their client is paying them to talk to your solicitor, not to you. A polite way of saying "go forth and multiply"
Chase your own solicitor too, but, maybe more importantly, tip off the selling Estate Agent. They won't get paid til you complete so the EA won't be happy at delay caused by simple administrative incompetence (letters never really get "lost in the post"!).
It's normal for EAs to chivvy things along, either direct to both sides' solicitors, via their client, the seller, or both!
Ultimately, all you can do is threaten to pull out if there is unacceptable delay, but you don't want that?
(although with prices dropping round here, and no shortage of places to buy, I might threaten it in your shoes; I did pull out of a purchase of a Buy-to-Let flat once because the vendor, a housing developer who had taken it in part exchange for one of their new builds, had no-one who'd take responsibility for answering simple enquiries on this odd leftover flat... After several months I gave up and swallowed a few hundred quid in legal and search fees)
