Hope it happens soon for you.
House buying/selling in UK can be a nightmare as solicitors seem to lack any sense of urgency.
Tell me about it!
The daughter of a close friend has bought a house and has been waiting for the key to move in for a week. Frustrated by the lack of involvement from the solicitor, she flew at the mortgage provider ( the solicitor claimed they were holding things up)
The mortgage lender sent her a copy of the last email from her solicitor which clearly states “…there’s no urgency on this…”.
She’s a bit of a Norfolk terrier so I expect the solicitors bill to be challenged and not paid with any “urgency”.
What’s the old joke…..
”What do call a group of 6 solicitors chained together on the sea bed?”
“ A good start”
