The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

Sib2018

To me surely it's in the solicitors interest to push things through and keep in the case, as they want to get paid at the end of the day on completion.

Thankyou! I just can't believe we got so far down the line before. Crazy and the bottom of the chain have wasted legal fees and survey fees for nothing!!

Hi, this is a bit unrelated but does anyone know how long on average it is before the first fee (I think it's £360.00) for conveyancing comes out of your account to go to your solicitor to begin the process?


I had my mortgage offer made from Natwest through a mortgage advisor, they advised the solicitor which was on the Natwest approved list, who sent me out all of the documents to fill in and I returned them via registered mail so I know they got there, it's been two weeks now and I've never heard anything back.


Although I know the conveyancing period takes many weeks or even months my bank account details were included in the documents so I was just wondering if they'll take the payment via a BACS payment or I would have to issue this amount to them?


I've emailed to ask them this but had no reply, the solicitor is TMJ based in Hartlepool by the way.


Many thanks.

They cant take money from your account unless you set up a direct debit - you need to pay them.

Yes, there were a lot of issues with our seller's vendor, they pulled out of 2 houses, delayed exchange by not answering enquiries and then lied that they were ready when they didn't have a mortgage offer :wall:

It's been very stressful and I honestly never plan to move again, but once we're in and unpacked it will have all been worth it
