Seller and Estate Agents have become unresponsive

[kayish]

Hello,

I'm a first time buyer in London, and I'm near to moving into my first house. I have paid for multiple surveys (combined with solicitor fees, approx. £2000) and currently waiting on the Seller for some documents such as properties info & fittings form and specific documents asked to provide after the building survey. We have been in this process for 7 months and constantly chasing the Seller via the Estate agents and solicitors.

The Seller has now gone MIA, the Estate agents tried contacting her 2 weeks ago and she is not responding to email or phone calls. I contacted the Estate agents today to let them know the mortgage I obtained for the property will be expiring in a month and to confirm where the Seller head is at. The Estate agents have also become unresponsive.

I have already started looking at other properties but does anyone have any advise how to handle this? Is there someone I can escalate to or a complaint procedure for this kind of unacceptable behaviour? What are my options apart from pulling out of the sale?

Thanks!

Hi

in similar situation and wondering whether there was an update to your matter and if it was resolved?

I can see that the post is a few months old now, so I guess the question is no longer relevant, but I am curious about whether or not it has been resolved, and how.
