are we being unreasonable, or is our vendor?

We are still going through our house purchase, but our vendors seem to have a completely different mindset from us, and I'm coming on to see if we were being too demanding.
The essence is that our solicitors sent the standard questionnaire at the end of March. The vendors took a month to return it, but said that the guarantees, management agreements, etc that were requested, would follow. Since then, nothing.
So today they spoke to the agents and said that they would let us have all that, but we want to have them, or copies, before we exchange, just in case there are clauses that are of concern.
Are we being unreasonable to insist that they do this, or is it something that one let's go by (our solicitor is definite that we are right)

they are. You cannot make this purchase blind.

issue an ultimatum - you get the stuff by x date or you walk.

Get your solicitor to talk to theirs. I don't think they can refuse this- and they have already agreed to send them, so why are they retracting that now? If they haven't got them ie for windows replacement etc, you'll need an indemnity policy- they should pay!

Even if you accept you haven't got the proof of any guarantees, you certainly need information about the management company. Sometimes these things do take a while to obtain, but given that it came to light that you'd want them at the end of March, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them now or an explanation as to why they're not available.

You are in the right
