That Sinking Feeling

Just when we thought we were closing in on the land - our solicitor gets a letter from theirs threatening to withdraw from the deal unless we accept their stupid conditions in the transfer document immediately (they're trying to pass the bodge up about the rogue fence in the paddock onto us through the transfer - we don't want to accept that).
That letter arrived last night; we saw it at 8am today.  This is after we've been waiting 2 weeks for the draft transfer, which only arrived late Friday afternoon.
Then we see in the transfer to one of our other neighbours that they intend to erect a close boarded fence half way up the paddock right across our view down the valley!
We spent over an hour with our solicitor trying to sort this mess out, and his charges are £200/hr!
We're getting really fed up with this.
So we've asked our solicitor to try and sort it 'amicably', but if it carries on like this they can keep the land and we'll make do with what we've got.
Hope they paint the boards a nice colour!
