Have you and/or your solicitor received the Memorandum of Sale from the EA? It will say:
Sharpkat
Address
Phone
Offer has been accepted on
1 MaCavity Cat Street, Mouseville
Agreed sum: £100
Sellers:
Mr & Mrs Dumbcat
Address
Phone
Solicitors: Sharpkat (phone, email, address)
Solicitors: Mr & Mrs Dumbcat (phone, email, address)
That's the first important piece of paper.
The next thing that comes is the Draft Contract Pack from the seller's solicitors to yours, comprising of:
TA6
TA10
And maybe some other stuff mine included (I got the Title Plan at the same time - a big red area drawn around the house to check all the land is included)
The thing about TA6 and TA10 forms is that they often require a lot of backup paperwork to go along with them.
The seller can choose to supply all that later, or wait until they've found it all so they can put it all together to send to their solicitor all at once. Guidance from the Law Society on TA6:
The documents asked for may include: • service charge bill (up to the last three years) • New Build Warranty (for example, NHBC) • planning consents or similar for the property or any extension or conversion • solar panels: electricity feed-in tariffs (FIT) or smart export guarantees (SEG) • listed building or conservation area notices • tree preservation order • Japanese knotweed management plan • notices received or given under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 • guarantees or warranties, for example, for damp or timber treatment or for the installation of glazed units or other works at the property • electrical work certificates and guarantees • central heating guarantees and warranties • agreements with neighbours about drains, pipes or wires or any other property matters • completion certificate for gas installation (Gas Safe certificate) • plan showing the location of the septic tank or small sewage treatment plant and how access is obtained • Green Deal financed energy performance installations • radon test report

So, if you haven't had the Memorandum of Sale and nobody has yet chased for it, nobody is doing their job properly.
Did your solicitor have you fill out a bunch of forms and give a load of ID and proof of funds yet? Did they ask for a few hundred quid upfront to start Local Searches?
If not, you're not actually signed up, and nobody has started anything at all yet. A solicitor will sit on it until they receive the Memorandum of Sale.
