Couldnt make this up - any solictors advice please

I called them..........NotraryNearMe doesnt do conveyancing and most cases went to XYZ Law but apparently all clients were contacted. Only so much i can find out as i'm not the actual client.

They actually officially ceased trading on the 17th Feb so would make sense a bit more. Got EA and Solicitor tracing this all over the place - but another bloody day lost

There was a news item about this problem a while back on the radio - for some reason, insurance companies are putting up solicitor's insurance premiums by massive amounts causing many to close.

Do you have a link?

They appear to have the same address (114b Prince of Wales Rd, Norwich), so the paperwork won't have far to travel. Might even have some of the same staff, so they should be able to pick up the file and carry on without any real delay.

EA messaged me last night to say they have the company and name of who is dealing with the case. Just need to keep the pressure on and not let all the solicitors use this as a reason to let this drift for another week....

Quick questions for you experts:
If my seller is NOC - is that a relatively simple paperwork process? and also would they have to have paid their previous solicitor any money upfront (like you do with searches etc)?

I don't believe the fact that te seller is the National Olympic Committee makes any difference.

He probably did, but I didn't, so I am glad that's been clarified!
@Cuddlybearman, a relatively simple paperwork process has very little bearing on whether or not there's a chain.  The paperwork is based on information regarding the title and transferring that title from one person to the next and for the solicitor to act on behalf of their client in their best interests.  Having a chain merely multiplies all that by the number of transactions being done alongside your one.

Yeh thanks i thought so. I just meant that seeing as they are not buying a property as well it takes an element of complication out of it
