I think it may be over.
My vendor never applied for probate after her husband died. They owned the leasehold jointly, but the freehold was only in his name. My solicitors requested the grant of probate two months ago, but the application still hasn't been made. Apparently, they are making it now, but I think it may take months to be granted in COVID times. If so, my vendor may well lose her new build, and I can't just hang on in the hope that it may all work out some time in 2022. I've asked my solicitor to try and clarify timescales, but I think I am going to need to start looking for other houses.
My solicitor chose to email me about this at a minute to midnight, so there goes my night's sleep. I feel sick to my stomach.
