have they let the sale fall through for this then?

There are so many contributing factors that enable a sale to fall through.
Chiefly it's that people assume that they'll get significantly more than they can afford.
Sounds like the vendor could've got slightly more for her money if she'd pulled her finger out and got it sorted in 12 weeks as opposed to 8 months. The market won't have shifted that much, but maybe enough.

It's not even so much the money that's enraged us, the house has risen in value by that much at least. It's the fact that we sold our house, moved in my parents and stored all-the-things™ on the proviso they'd get a wriggle on and sort their shit out. Suddenly they're finding they can't afford what's available in the market to downsize and her family are bending her ear.
We're off to look at another house today, further out than I'd like but we need a distraction, I must stop thinking of revenge.
