After a long search for the right property my wife and I made an offer at the start of June that was accepted. Almost four months later we are still waiting to receive the compromis and all the usual documents. The agent says the vendor has financial difficulties and the compromis can't be prepared until a mainlevee has been obtained from the vendor's bank (or apparently the bank could decide to repossess the property and sell it itself).Our lawyer chases the agent regularly but the agent says the case is an queue at the bank and also that the vendor's case is complicated. We wrote to the French vendor whom we have never met to ask him to try to speed things up. He replied to tell us that he was in hospital indefinitely, was unable to help and his lawyer was handling all his affairs.We don't understand why the bank's agreement to the sale was not obtained before the agent started marketing the property. We feel we have been misled. Is the best thing we can do now to walk away and buy another property?Roy
