Draft contract queries

Options
Hi,

My solicitor have raised draft contract queries with seller's solicitor. There are about 20 odd questions. Is it usual to have that many number of questions. (some of them are trivial).

Its Freehold house without chain.

Thanks

    Yep, sounds about right to me. Could be 10, could be 30. Most will appear trivial - just dotting i's and crossing t's.

    Means your solicitors are doing their job, I would be worried if there were no queries

    Sounds like you have a very keen, 'on the ball' solicitor to me.
    They are worth every penny, and save you money in the long run.

    Best to get everything resolved in one go through a comprehensive set of enquiries.

    Saves delays and stress later on.
