I understand your frustration, it is a really really complicated process and it seems has been even more tricky for you... but you might find something better (and cheaper) and be in a more proceedable position in the near future. There will be more properties for sale in spring/summer and, hopefully, that will turn the tables.
Also, try to see things from their perspective (difficult, I know) they might need the money, or simply got tired of waiting and unfortunately things are made to work in their favor (nothing is final until exchange)
If you are really keen on this place your best chance might be to reach completion asap, so try to speed the process up as much as you can. If they waited this long they are nor that bad and you might still have a fighting chance

So frustrating. It's a bit of a shit situation for you both, I imagine the seller is wanting to hedge their bets by testing more buyers on the E10 flat - it's been 9 months of insecurity for them as well, after 3 lots of your buyers failing, they will be asking themselves how progressable you are. After 9 months Id say thats pretty patient. The system doesn't make it easy for anyone.

Been trying to buy a little Warner flat in E10 for the last nine or so months. Our buyers have pulled out three times, and our seller put the place up on the market over Xmas, but we just got a third buyer in just after Xmas and our seller took it off the market. This is real last-gasp territory for us, this process has been really hard, but we were feeling as though we were finally on the last stretch and we had a proper run at it.
Walked past the place on Sunday and saw another couple outside the place clearly discussing whether or not to put an offer in. The place isn't online anymore, so he's clearly conducting additional negotiations.
How can we buy off someone who is so fundamentally dishonest about the way they conduct the sale? How are we supposed to keep our energy up when he's just straight up lying to our faces? How the heck does anyone manage to keep their humanity when the London property market is full of these people?!
