Update: Estate agent called today and informed us vendor is sick with anxiety and so is pulling the house off the market because of our unwillingness to have a 10 week gap between exchange and completion.
I said if the vendor is happy to complete in 2 weeks we are happy to exchange contracts now, otherwise we'll wait until October if she is planning on renovating the house she is moving to. For this estate agent told me I was "out of order". I thanked him calmly and wished him well.
