The agent is right. There are grey areas throughout conveyances and solicitors egos often stop them taking a sensible view on whether stuff actually matters. It's not unusual for one side to ask something and the other to tell them they don't need to know the answer instead of just answering properly.
Sit down with your solicitor tell them you are very keen to make sure the purchase happens, ask them if you can help or if there are things they can work round. You might find you can get info on the £17k bill direct by ringing or emailing the freeholder. You shouldn't have to of course, that's what you're paying them to do, but do it anyway. The agent could also help, but they're probably cunts.
