Sorry to hear that. Actually, ours were OK, the vendors' solicitors were fuckers (even after the vendor had instructed them for a split sale because it was dragging on and they knew we had to move they still refused!). The solicitors above them (the reason for the delay) were just inept and deceitful.
They made several glaring errors regarding the legal right to sale (there were charges at the court on the property) and said they had been resolved and tried to get everyone to exchange. They tried to do this once and our vendor's solicitor spotted it. They tried a second time claiming they had fixed the problem, they hadn't. Estate agents (BV in brighton) a pile of shit. 'Annie' was nothing but unhelpful and only keen to go on holiday and fob it off to some underling who had no idea what about the previous mess.
Probably cost us 2 months extra rent (all the while paying off the loan in addition as we got cash against assets in the hope of tempting vendor with a quick sale). Entire industry is a fucking joke and I wouldn't wish buying a house on anyone ever again.
