Buyers Solicitors Enquiries - Round 2?

Chased my solicitor this week to respond to buyers solicitor enquiries. He has done so.

EA today confirms receipt of answers with sellers solicitors. Lo and behold, then sends more questions over completely unrelated to first set of questions.

No wonder house purchases and sales take so long and fall through with this level of f@&&ying around :mad:

    What's wrong with a solicitor being thorough? I would be very unhappy if my solicitor didn't get into the detail of what is the biggest financial commitment of my life and ask whatever questions are necessary to protect my interests, however long it takes.
    If you will the end, you must will the means.
  • Being thorough I expect, being inefficient I don't.

    Get all supporting information together, survey, searches, draft contracts etc. Then prepare a full list of enquiries instead of waiting for one list to be responded to before sending another one.

    As the meerkat's would say: Simples :D

    Maybe your replies raised further questions? If you are spending thousands it seems quite reasonable to have any questions answered. If you respond quickly to the new questions not too much time will have gone by.

    How would that address your issue?

    Potentially would extend matters even further.

    As per first post, new questions were unrelated and not as a result of my solicitor responses.

    Sorry Thrugelmir, I'm not sure what you mean on these points?
