PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

If you can't provide evidence that it was offered and they claim they didn't know about it, I think you are both at a stalemate. I would be inclined to ask them why the two completion statements are completely different and to explain to you why they think you owe them £200, when you had settled in full the amount quoted on the original completion statement. Was there any extra work they had to do, which they forgot to list on the original statement?
They did not carry out any additional work. They told me the statement provided by the 2nd solicitor contains an error. Now after 3 months, for some reasons they recalculated the figures and found the error.
Did they write to you about the error? What exactly did the letter say?
On phone call, they told me it was an error. The email only stated I owned them extra and send me a breakdown list. However, I got no where to challenge them as I did not have the previous breakdown as detailed as this one so could not compare.
