Just a quickie.... I have bought and sold a few times, and there is always something like this. The time when it starts moving again, as commented above is when you (A) phone everyone and tell them to get a move on (including the seller) and (B) make sure that they understand that the usual solicitor thing of writing letters is not going to work here - they need to get on the phone.
I have usually followed this up with ringing every other day and checking they have done the things they said they would do on the last call.
And finally, one hold up revolved around something that the managing agent could not find - it had been misfiled. I offered to come up to his office and help him find it, quoted his own address to him and said I would be there in the afternoon. He found it pretty quickly after that.
You have to be the one pushing everyone's buttons.
