You're buying the house, why would they do your dirty work for you? Presumably you bought it knowing it had a ruinous fence so there was a 50/50 chance it was the neighbour's responsibility?
Once you've moved in just go round and have a word.

I find it unbelievable that people will not fix stuff like that... we haven’t signed the contract yet so there is room for negotiation (I hope). We have gone over the asking price in an area (and a moment) where the market is not particularly strong so tbh I would like them to reciprocate getting the house looking as good as possible... call me a dreamer 😊

So it seems that we will be getting a house with a ruinous (RH) garden fence. The lawyer’s paperwork show it actually is the neighbours responsibility. Is there any way (other than offering £££ got partial or total replacement) to get the current owners them to replace or at least have a chat with the said neighbors?
