How long would you give before pulling out?

I don't feel that I'm getting anywhere with my house purchase after 13 weeks.

This is a vacant property, no chain and I'm first time buyer.

Enquires were sent 4 weeks ago and 2 are still outstanding. The enquires were simple according to friends and family that have bought before - for example, my solicitor requested the electric test certificate which the seller said she had on the TA10 form but didn't attach.

The estate agent has been very helpful and chased many times throughout the process so I'd rather not ask her to email them again. My solicitor has also been very good.

I'm just extremely worried that this is going to drag on for months and I can't understand why it's taken so long already. I really thought I be a lot closer to exchange/completion.

It's requirements from the mortgage company you have to worry about, if they are not bothered about the enquiries just tell the solicitor to crack on. Assuming all the electrics seem to work the certificate is something you can sort out later. Are there any more worrying queries that have been ignored?

My house purchase took 5 months and o was told that wasn't too bad!
There was no chain, just me purchasing a vacant probate house.
I understand how frustrating it is but just hang in there.
