Our seller though told us from the start that they were going to move into a rental and it completely baffles me that now more than 6 months later, they've only just started to look for somewhere because we've said we're ready to complete.
Reduce your offer.
Find somewhere else. Plan b. Do it now.
Howard-
Have been looking over the last couple of months in anticipation of something bad happening, and haven't found anywhere that comes close to this place. It really does tick all of our boxes. There's also the stamp duty holiday - unlikely to find somewhere new where we could complete before that ends.
So we could reduce our offer, but if they said no we would have to go back with our tails between our legs.

I guess your friend could always just sell and rent for a bit to decide what they want to do, and would be in a better position by being chain-free?
