Buying a flat or house question:

We are considering buying a flat where the vendo wants a 6 month gap between exchange and completion as she is due to give birth and has not found another place to move to. We are worried that there are various risks involved here, for eg the vendor could pull out even after exchange by just returning our deposit and there is little we can do despite having incurred transaction costs or whether the vendor will keep the property in good repair while living there between exchange and completion. How do we get around these issues? Can we build anything in the contract to protect ourselves.
