Mark: that's about it. We know the costs, we're not expecting them to pay all of it (it's for future work, but it's been billed and we're trying to confirm the transfer of it all).
That we're falling down on. They haven't/can't/won't and we're chasing it all ourselves. A phone call to the estate agent yesterday seemed to sort things out. They are under the same impression I am, that the seller's solicitor is useless.
We're doing the running around to get answers to prevent us from having to go to their solicitor again.
I have impressed upon them the desire to complete as we've been priced out by market gains during this time, i've given them the "if we don't get this, we may have to leave where we've been living for 4.5 years. And this may mean leaving London, which involves all sorts of career/life changes". This "resonated" with our estate agent as he's just moved his family from one borough to the other and knows the confusion this can cause a small family.
fingers crossed.
