Have decided not to send that email to the solicitors.
Going to have to rely on the agent and keep my fingers crossed I think!
While I do have a means of direct contact with my buyer and seller the 1 remaining thing that needs sorting out is to do with a deed of rectification to the lease on both properties so it's really down to the solicitors who all need to agree on the proposed changes as it's all about the legal jargon that's in the lease.0 -
Fire a rocket up the backside of the agent. Surely they want their commission?
We contact the buyer's solicitor when we were selling (through desperation that they'd done NOTHING for a number of weeks after the sale was agreed), but they were a sister company to the agent.0 -

Process has been ongoing for 5 months and my mortgage offer expires very soon, as much as I emphasise this to my solicitors I can't seem to get them to chase if answers are not coming through, post boy chasing is not going to do anything. you are paying your estate agents through the nose, so what are they doing the others for responses on things which still need to be resolved sounds like your lawyer did his bit, and so the other lawyers are at fault. use your estate agent, and the other one. mYOur lawyer will chase, but not too much woithout charging you more as bringing the deal together when clearly there is an issue is the agent's area and time is slipping away.
Typically every question that gets asked takes a week to be responded too, similarly any request for action of any sort takes a week to actually be actioned.
Email is a bit of a plea to everyone to respond to things with haste due to this deadline I'm faced with as I'm still not convinced that my solicitor has advised the others of this.
PANIC!!!!
your emails will be ignored, they have to be for professional reasons, or...and so it might be worth doing....they could send them to your lawyer to say 'stop having your client email us'My posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:
My bad spelling...well I rush type these opinions on my own time, so sorry, but they are free.:o0
