The contract with the vendor, ISNY Pty Limited, has been successfully rescinded by my conveyancer and I've received my deposit back from the agent. I didn't need a solicitor, that was an unnecessary expense as a conveyancer can rescind a contract. If nothing else it was good for my peace of mind to have a solicitor assess the situation and I really like them so will use them again.
I don't understand - did you use a solicitor? Or was your conveyancer giving you legal advice? (and advising that you didn't need a solicitor of all things!)
