Property information is all public anyway.

You can get the register for any property from the land registry for £1.

No. You can't. And to suggest on a public forum to countless people that you can is to open yourself up to countless legal claims for the differerence betwen your erroneous cost and the actual cost.



It costs £3.00.


I am PM'ing you my personal "Letter Before Action" as we speak...


£2.00 within 5 working days please...........

Inflation is going mad. Got charged 30p for a Freddo the other day - used to be 10p! Now £3 to get docs from the land registry!

Compensation isn't due to you, but may be due to the other party. !!!! happens, it's easy for things to get in the wrong envelopes. I once got someone else's confidential financial details in a letter with my own. I had to take it up with the organisation concerned, of course, for the sake of the other party involved. They apologised to me, but as I pointed out, there was no need, it wasn't to me the apology was due. I suspected it was nothing more sinister than my paperwork being put on top of theirs, and someone picking up the lot and sticking it in a envelope to the address on the front sheet. Careless, but no worse, and could happen to any of us in an off moment.
GCSEs have nothing to do with this. People have cocked-up since time immemorial, and will do to the end of the universe. In a situation where there have been no actual losses, it's fine to point it out, right the person who did it gets a rocket to make them more careful in future, and beyond that, not for anyone else to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Bear in mind that if you kick up a stink an office junior may lose their job or be disciplined to appease you.

One off the wall point; if your solicitor can't be trusted to use snail mail, how secure is their email?

I know that banks are now supposed to be protecting customers from the previously common "Push Payment Fraud" (where criminals hack the solicitors' emails and instruct a client's bank transfer to their own, fraudulent account; to the tune of "100 million a year) ...

... but why risk it; so check who you're sending any cash to!

Or it may not have only happened once but no one else has complained and so it has continued. The solicitors may be waiting for someone to complain so that they can get rid of an incompetent employee.

In the scenario I quoted I made it clear that I didn't want anyone to be punished, because it seemed to me to be a genuine mistake such as anyone could have made, but of course, I wasn't the injured party or the offender's boss. I couldn't have said nothing about it because the injured party would be missing their documents.
