    If this is all serious then OP's solicitor should be throwing a very very heavy book at the seller's solicitor....

    Hi Richard, I am impressed at your continuing concern for OP's predicament - but on the basis of past offerings of a similar nature, I suggest that you just sit back and enjoy the story.... :D:D:D

    It's amazing that she doesn't know that her house has been sold, yet can make a call to Australia to her niece.

    Are there really solicitors who put an apostrophe on a plural?

    Got to say, I find it incredible that someone picked up on the ONE (or at least one of very few) spelling mistakes made from one of the most respected posters on this forum, yet there is another poster on this board also claiming to be a solicitor who can barely string a properly constructed sentence together and it rarely gets commented on.

    I've got to say that I agree with you. Richard Webster is a very well respected contributor to this forum and I felt annoyed on his behalf that a typo was perceived to be worthy of a comment.

    I'm not sure who the other poster is who you are referring to... but I do hope it's not me (I don't mind my legal skills being called into question, but crimes against grammar, well, that's another matter). I'll shut up now as I've had a glass or three of red :cool:
