    Lost my buyer :-(

    After 4 months....

    Basically I'm spitting nails at her solicitor who advised her to pull out.

    The reason? I have been evasive in answering a number of questions that were raised shortly after I accepted her offer. e.g. when was the septic tank installed (don't know, it's prehistoric), provide us with receipt from the last time it was emptied ( I don't have one - I paid cash) .

    The point is there was no opportunity to clarify anything - she's been sat on this for weeks on end, is rude to the selling agent when they ring her and is even rude and abrupt to her own client.

    So after all this time I've never had the chance to make good some of the outstanding questions basically because the solicitor was being do fecking useless.

    Or, am I mistaken, and it's all my fault because I wasn't on their backs all the time? I assumed the amount they charge negated the necessity of this.

    Very interesting what comes out on top of Google when I search for FDC Law

      Some people are unhappy about Boris advising us to pull out.

        Have you asked your solicitor?
        The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

          We need something like SpeedyConveyancing.com & both parties agree to use them.

          Could be done & dusted in a couple of weeks.

          Can't believe how long this lot have taken & no result, just lots of strife...

            Yes - he tells me it was impossible to get anything from her

                It's the slow councils doing the local searches. That's the weak link.

                Sorry to hear your bad news OP

                  I assumed there would be some kind of dialogue in which I'd have the chance to indemnify anything unresolved but that dialogue never took place.

                  At least I'll be prepared next time....

                    Perhaps get the silage tank thingy emptied now with proof and thats one less thing to worry about for next time?
