Selling to son

Strangely that makes me more determined not to use a solicitor. I would have thought legally, he could not make that decision.Slithery said:
The solicitor dealing for your son's lender may refuse to deal with you personally instead of your solicitor. It's their perogative as they are the ones handing over the money.beduth said:
All I need to do is hand over the paperwork ( which is all together and in order) to his solicitor, sign a contract and wait for the bank transfer. Unless I am missing something and it is far more complicated.If that was the case, I would be looking for somewhere to complain.0 -
So you are saying, if a solicitor did not like someone he had to pay money to, he could simply refuse.Slithery said:

Mmmm can the rest of us in the REAL world have the same choice?1 -
Your 8 year old searches are irrelevant and useless.
You do not need a solicitor to represent you.
Your son's lender will require for him to have a solicitor. Lender will likely ask for last 3 months of rental income and tenant's contract - and lend against this. Simples.
Alternatively I am buying from family, using a practice of solicitors - they have two solicitors there. One to represent me, one to represent my family. We arranged a fee so that it comes to us paying 120% of what it would normally cost. Saves us the hassle of dealing with it ourselves. However each solicitor is independent from the other, otherwise it wouldn't work!
Your sale seems easier - I would dispense with second set of solicitors unless they can do it for almost free. Getting the searches done yourself to answer the enquiries is a joke, it's very easy to do yourself.
