I'm in a similar situation, seller doesn't open letter for a few weeks until the estate agent physically opens the letters for him and makes him sign them.
Completely useless, considering the first buyer dropped out because no progress was made within two months, I have been waiting for 5 months and still don't have a completion date.
Couldn't get hold of my solicitor for a few days, after ringing the main reception desk today it seems out shes on holiday until the 8th. Thanks for letting me know......
The only thing that's making me continue with the process is that it was cheapest flat in the area, (7 months ago when the first offer was accepted). If was put on the market today would be on for an increased asking price that I could not afford.

I'm so bored of buying a flat and the dicks that are selling it to us, they've been fobbing off my solicitor for months and not answering requests for building regs/planning permission documents.
Each time my solicitor digs deeper the seller is painted as shadier and shadier fuckers. Last ditch attempt for clarity/some concrete answers is going to the council to get categorical answers on the planning permission status.
It's looking an awful lot like I'm going to be £1.8k out of pocket (fees/searches/survey) and have wasted the past 6 months not looking for somewhere else. There's a slim chance it will work out fine but I'm not feeling good about it.
