Ah man that sucks, I feel like there are way too many folk out there buying/selling property who just seem to have no actual interest in buying or selling their property. Heard numerous mates deals fall through, or have been months and months of just utter nonsense, most common story is solicitors dragging feet (on both sides of the coin) or just not sending things when they say they have.

And the whole house of cards is starting to topple, just been informed by our seller she is going to re-list unless we exchange by end of week.
Surprised she held out for so long, our useless buyer dicked about and went on boating holidays when he should have been sorting solicitors/mortgages out, we were a week away from exchanging about 6 weeks ago when his solicitor flagged up a missing insurance cert for underpinning done in mid 90’s, nobody has a copy, it’s out of date/historical/irrelevant and we gave them a surveyor report from 2014/15 where they measure for movement over a year and it moved 0.0025mm (this was done to reduce building insurance premiums)
Barclays have sat on final sign off by the the valuer for 6 weeks now and broker/solicitor have been bollocked for hassling them daily.
So it’s all over bar the shouting/finger pointing., what a fucking waste of 10 months of our time.
And to make it worse the new owner of the bottom flat moved in last week, no mention of missing insurance certs from 1996....
