They are complete idiots. I am yet to find a competent solicitor!

A few weeks into the process with searches completed so just waiting now for a few bits to be confirmed by the sellers, as it's a leasehold property. They appear to owe some money for the maintenance so concerned that if it is not paid after exchange will I be liable?
Can't wait to get in and decorate, pricing up some Meranti for the living room.

Fifth day in a row of unsuccessful attempts, it is done! Completing on Wednesday.
Experienced my solicitor being removed from the panel, changing to a new solicitor, wrong name being on the lease, wrong address on the mortgage, mortgage provider not answering the phone all day, seller up the chain disappearing but it is all done now

Ahh that sounds like a nightmare, how long did it take with all those set backs if you don't mind me asking?
It's one of those things I guess unless you prod they kinda just do stuff in the background as they are pretty busy
Good thing is all the new queries have been replied to and the buyer is just as keen and concerned about what tripe the solicitor is asking for

Well, we moved today. Me into a house share, wife into a lovely property she bought. Bit of waiting around for transfers to go through, which is normal. In the end we completed ok! I got yo start looking for a property to buy now.

Shock horror as someone understands solicitors have more than one case on the go at a time

Are you buying a flat? Its usually a condition that the landlord/management company won't consent to the sale (as the almost certainly have to do) unless arrears are paid, or undertaken to be paid on completion.
Soldato
Yes it's a flat with a management company, i'll have to make sure they are paid up and proof is provided.

Solicitors ALWAYS need a kick up the backside!

You're getting pretty boring now.

Same thing when I posted, for some reason if anyone has any complaints about their legal team he takes it as a personal insult.Thats because YOU work in a solicitors!
