Congratulations!The sellers have offered through there solicitor to repay the debt to us at £1000 per month with the first instalment paid immediately, Decision time .....
Unless the vendors offer was made without prejudice your solicitors will now argue that they are completely off the hook. You'll get a month, maybe two and the vendor will stop paying.
What you need to do immediately:
Ask your solicitor if the vendor has admitted full liability for the 10K. Or if the offer was made without admitting liability.
Then, regardless of the Solicitors answer, you tell them that you will be claiming directly from them (your solicitor). And go and find a better solicitor.
What I expect you will do:
Continue to believe that what your solicitor is telling you is in your best interest, as opposed to being in your solicitors best interest.
I don't get it OP. You are being told unanimously that your solicitor is pulling a fast one on you and you're doing impression of the see/hear/speak no evil monkeys. It's like watching a lamb being led to the slaughter. I mean no offence, but FFS wake up and at least get a qualified second opinion. Either the loyalty you're showing to your solicitor is not being returned, or they are incompetent.

I deal with issues like this on contracts and real estate much of the time, and the key learning is don't let people off the hook, especially when they have insurance that will cover their cockup.
I am concerned they are trying to take advantage of your good nature - as you can probably tell from my posting style at times, winning in property often means that you don't apply a good nature even when its not your usual style.
In short - play hardball

Not trying to belittle you but I was feeling exasperated at the approach - everything you have said and your approach is setting you up to be back here again saying "they haven't paid". You are exposing yourself to considerable risk of not getting the money totally needlessly, and I'm not the only person to spell that out.

Overwhelming opinion is that the money should be returned to you by your solicitor as they have dropped the ball.
You want the seller to know that you are not going to be taken for a fool - and you have accomoplished this. Well done.
Now they are claiming to pay you £1k/m (which is an improvement on 'I'm broke guv"), so you win.
Except that they will not pay you the full sum, and by allowing them a monthly payment schedule the solicitor will say they are off the hook.
It seems that the attention should turn to the solicitor (and you have rightly done this) to say, "you ballsed up", the seller will come good.
Sort me out the £10k by x date, and you can concerntrate your efforts to get that back from the seller....
If the above is about right, then good on you and you seem to have taken on board the common concensus.
I wish you the best of luck in getting the total money back, hopefully via the solicitor (who does not want to use the insurance they may have), and then they can do the chasing. In the meantime, you can let them get on with the games whilst you are righted for the wrong that was put on you unfairly.
WIN WIN ....

I was thinking this too.
OP, is your solicitor listed on Trust Pilot??
TrustPilot is comedy - they charge a business a fee and they then et to submit 'verified' fake super positive reviews. Ask me how I know having used an atrocious online letting agency! You can spot the fake reviews as the staff big themselves up by name 'great service from Chantelle - never needed to chase her once for a conveyancing update - super sweet and brill' . OP, is your solicitor listed on Trust Pilot??
OP - learnt loads here and good luck with it but I think I'd be leaning towards the solicitors PI by now as despite trying to teach the pair some morals they will default on repayments and still 'win'... They or their insurers (who likely will be able to see this and wont bother) can try to recoup at leisure...
