OP I would like to see how this pans out but PLEASE......type properly!!! You keep dropping words and leaving out letters and it makes for very difficult reading.

I understand this is not an English lesson but I keep finding myself have to re-read so I can get the jist of what you are trying to say.

Sorry, having a bad day!!

its not about you though,is it sacha28????

they obviously are not english as a first language, and are typing as coherently as they can, and should not have to apologise to some snarky person for it!

Bit harsh there, its a valid point

Regardless of the nationality or English skills of the OP the fact remains that this is a very complicated situation and if the OP is unable to correctly present the facts, whether it be on a forum or to a solicitor then they are going to struggle to get this resolved

To the OP

I haven't really got anything to add other than following the advice offered previously, go find a new solicitor asap

When you present your case you may find it useful to give a rough, factual, outline of the case first then go into additional detail when/if requested. The solicitor will identify which points are legally relevant and it will save you a lot of time and stress

no, its not a bit harsh!

they are obviously doing the best they can!
what more can they do?
they are not purposely writing in broken english to annoy someone recreationally reading the thread!

most people reading the thread can understand exactly what it going on with the information given, as would a solicitor, who mind you, probably deals with people often who have varying degrees of fluency.

the fact that sacha28 has a rant about it, even comments that they are having a bad day, and then exits without one helpful word is completely unnecessary, they were just being a pedant!

unless i'm mistaken, in a previous thread the OP suggested the house purchase was £300k so surely a £30k deposit was paid on exchange. this amount should / will be awarded to the OP on settlement of this case if the sale doesn't go through in addition to any other proven expenses the OP incurs.
at least then once this gets settled the OP will have better finances to purchase elsewhere a similar property that may or may not have gone up in value in the meantime?
either way it is a horrendous situation to find oneself in and i wish them well in sorting this out.

Again, have to disagree here

I'm not having a dig at the OP in any way (or you btw) but the posts from the OP are quite confusing, English and Grammar aside, to the extent a very knowledgeable and experienced poster felt the need to summarise the the situation after admitting their confusion

I've got every sympathy for the OP and their situation but can't shake the feeling that they will struggle to get this resolved until they take a step back and separate the facts from opinions and emotions. The language issues only serve to compound the complexity

You may be correct in assuming a solicitor will take the time and effort to work through the language issues, along with the legal complexities and help the op get this resolved but i would be willing to bet the type of solicitor the OP needs (commercial/conveyancing litigation specialist) isn't going to, instead their options (whilst language and confusion remain an issue) are going to be limited to a more helpful, but less specialised one

I hope the OP gets this resolved to their satisfaction and follows the good advice on this thread so far

I would say the highlighted bit applies to a significant proportion of this forum, regardless of literacy skills. In fact, it applies to nearly every single dispute that anyone anywhere finds themselves in. You can get much further with the facts.
