This happened to us too. It really should be a standard warning for any house buying (and especially in London) that there is a very real possibility of this happening. I think if we buy again, and there is any hint of delay, we will just make it very clear that we won't pay a penny more than what was agreed and if they want more money they can fuck off back to the market.
Eight months after accepting our offer on their house the vendor has decided that it's worth £25K more. The delay was 100% their fault. Merry fucking Christmas.
