Remortgage mess

Hi
Can anyone please advise ???
we had to remortgage because our old mortgage was coming to the end of a low discount period, it willl increase by £200 per month (ouch) So £1000 of fees later, we're signed up with a new national building society. The legal people have had our info (deeds etc) for about a month and only today said that they are not happy with a witness signature, this means that completion will be delayed as we have to complete the forms again, find another witness etc. All ok but that now means we have to pay the old mortgage this month (£200 more).
Why wasn't this spottted before by the lawyers, do we have any redress for compensation ? £200 is a lot of money to find on top of £1000 fees. I feel as though I am been stiched up.
Sorry to whinge, but seem to spend all my time sorting out financial messes on 0870 numbers :mad:
Thanks

Nope, you should have made sure the documents were signed properly.
You could have gone to your solicitor and get them signed and witnessed there.0
