Each to their own so we'll have to beg to differ on that oneKad_Williams wrote: »Not pointless to those who'd have the means to pay for it (if it were available!). I'd always prefer the fastest in the process to be as fast as possible. Plus the psychological implications of having a solicitor who does not communicate and is defensive of a slow process they haven't the time or will to explain, weigh heavy on clients who impulsively worry about what is or is not happening. To be that would money well spent - to be able to have that extra wiggle room where solutions can be reached. And And in my case where, had I been in a chain I would have been at the bottom of it, there are definitely a couple of straight questions I would have appreciate straight answers to, during this process, that would have gotten me to this stage of the purchase at least a month sooner. The link between me and my vendor would have been the thing holding everyone else in the chain up.
Thankfully this was not the case.
I wouldn't pay more to have a faster-working solicitor. If I've needed them to be quick for a deadline, or to play catch-up, they generally have been (except one time we were aiming for 3 weeks but it took 5 months due to a prob with the purchase). 2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0 -
Strangely my broker received a completion statement this morning from the solicitor and asked me whether we were close to exchange! Apparently that's a sign? I've not heard anything about exchange so I'm perplexed.
Goodness this stuff is so cryptic!0
