Offer accepted 4 September, hoped to move in well before Christmas. The vendors have dragged their heels, but always said they would move out when I was ready. I have been ready to exchange for two weeks now, they are still dithering about. We can't exchange because they haven't returned the contract to their solicitors. They are buying a run-down house, which is also ready for exchange, and moving into a house run by a friend, so could have moved at any time.
It is now over 12 months since my marriage ended, and we are still living in the same house while I wait for these people to sell me the house that they were so keen to sell. I have told them we exchange by the 5th and complete by the 12th or I will withdraw my offer for their house. AIBU, or have I waited long enough?
