Hi, I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I bought a property and was due to settle earlier in the week.
The settlement was due to happen in the morning but after inspection the day before,
There was still furniture and rubbish everywhere.
The vendor said they will try to clear it up before settlement but didn't.
so settlement was delayed until 2pm in the afternoon. The vendor's solicitor said they were not available at 2pm.
So now the vendor's solicitor will not settle until he gets extra payment for the rescheduled settlement. I'm sure his is not entitled to it especially from me. As I did not breach the contract, the contract states I need to settle on the day before 4pm, which I was ready to do by at 2pm.
So what can I do to make settlement happen, since vendor solicitor is been unreasonable and dragging this out for no reason?
I only have a conveyancer for the settlement. Can I take the vendor to court or tribunal or something to enforce the contract?
Do I need to settle this up or can my conveyancer to this for me?
Appreciate any input thanks!
