Started the countdown timer on the nuclear option today after the estate agent told me that the vendors solicitor had told them to stop chasing as they were too busy to deal with this right now. Estate Agent spoke to vendor to find out why questions from 12 Dec were still outstanding, they have not yet been sent the questions by their solicitor. When he told me I informed him that we have already given our solicitor instructions to return out deposit and throw all the paperwork in the bin if he does not know by midday tomorrow a date and time for exchange.
Estate agent called me back an hour later to tell me that the vendor has an appointment with their solicitor at 10am tomorrow to resolve all outstanding issues and sign the paperwork (we signed a month ago).
Fingers crossed we will exchange Friday or Monday.
Frustration levels are so high that right now I would readily walk away.

Maybe ask your solicitor to suggest the nuclear option may be a possibility?
Also, when we had issues with the vendor's solicitor, the estate agents were a massive help (honestly). Because they had contact and a good relationship with the vendor, when it got held up they called him and he phoned his solicitor and tried to hurry them. It's likely if the vendor thinks the deal's at risk he will push them into acting.
