It's taken our seller three months to give his solicitors the stuff they need to do the contract pack, and a week and a bit since they got it - no draft contracts in sight yet our side.
As a result, looks like we'll not complete before September 30th, and miss the stamp duty holiday.
Tempted to reduce our offer by the £1600 we'll need to pay on that account, but also not sure if it's worth the hassle/risk of the sale falling through (empty house, seller has never seemed in a rush to sell). [Insert grumbling noises]
