Buyer last minute issue, exchange tomorrow - what's going on here?

We are due to exchange tomorrow and complete straight away. Buyers have just said they want to "confirm what we are going to do about the various repairs needed on the property" before confirming. This message has been conveyed to me today!

I have zero idea what "repairs" they mean. The property is in good condition with normal wear and tear. They have had a survey and we have been in the process since January so they've had ample time to raise any issues they may wish to.

What is their aim here? I've obviously asked solicitor for clarity about the repair query.

It's hard for people to back down once they give you an ultimatum, I'd tell your EA that there is nothing out of the ordinary and you will not be adjusting price whatever and they either take it or leave it. You may have a sleepless night, but if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

Visiting for an hour? That's a long time.
