Solicitor complaint

I had a private discussion with my solicitor regarding a reservation I had in buying my new property. Next thing I know she has told the EA acting for vendor (despite me saying I didn't want to discussed)
Next thing, vendor gets stroppy and threatens to remarket. Zero chance of him reducing price which we had been negotiating.
I complained today, also to an email where she refered to vendor having been "done" when he bt the flat for price he originally did in the past.
Is this usual and I should just ignore it?

I think EAs are more likely to bend the truth than solicitors.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

If you spot an illegal or inappropriate post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com (it's not part of my role to deal with this).
