It's probably the re-application for a mortgage that causes the issue here isn't it? We had to do it, ended up with a slightly different rate, bit of ballache and I can see how it may not even be worth it for £1k.
I would try to arrange personally with the seller some kind of escrow arrangement, there must be an escrow provider somewhere that can handle this kind of situation.
Unless for some reason it's illegal, I would try to avoid involving my solicitor in this, they won't simplify the situation for you.
Are you in a chain? If so I’d ask them nicely and explain the situation and that they arrange the transfer of the extra £1k.
If they aren’t forthcoming then you can choose your level of arsehole behaviour to expedite them sending you the money but there still plenty of time to sort it
