Every time I'm think I'm days for Completion my solicitor send a Bomb asking tons of info

We are cash buyers, ie no mortgage requirement, buying a 4 year old house built by a reputable company. Our solicitor has asked for those documents from our sellers. She has also asked for the boiler warranty. While I'm perfectly happy to proceed without the boiler warranty, which may have expired anyway, there is no way I would proceed with the purchase without the rest of it!
Up to you though.0 -
Lender is advancing thousands of pounds. Expectation is that the professional they employ will perform a thorough job. If they don't they'll be removed from their panel of approved solicitors.JJRome said:
I get that but Lender already requested a Valuation where BTW I had to deal with and getting the cladding Report. It feels that after he get the Building regulation Document he is going to ask for a certificate that the person signing it was qualify to do that. I meant this building it has a NHBC certificateThrugelmir said:If you are buying with a mortgage. Then solicitor is also working for the lender.bouicca21 said:
I don't get why if the Developer is building another building next to my I'm liable to a CIL Bill. The issue here is White City is a huge development that is till going on.Why would you not want to know that the block was built according to the legal requirements and you were not going to be asked to pay the CIL bill?
I think is Legit because it was built by Savills not a local Handy Man that I meet in the Pub right?macman said:I assume you mean days from exchange, not days from completion?
Sounds like your conveyancer is doing a thorough job: you cannot assume that everything is 'legit' just because it's only 3 years old.1 -
What makes you think you are days from exchange/completion?
These seem pretty standard/basic queries that would be asked pretty early on in the process I would have thought. If they are still asking these kind of things then I don't think you are as close to exchange as you think you are.
