All,
I am in the middle of selling and buying my PPOR. The solicitor who is handling the conveyancing is closed down by the Law Society. I am trying to transfer my files to another solicitor. Just wonder what to do on the following points:
1. The solicitor demanded that I have to pay his cost in full in bank cheque before he releases my files. Do I have to do this or can I pay him at settlement?
2. The transfer to a new solicitor is going to cost me extra and it is not my fault. Am I entitled for any compensation.
3. Since I sold my house directly with no agent, the 10% is hold in the solicitor trust account. I am very concerned about this deposit.
Hope to hear from others who have been thru the same experience or any legal eagle who has come across similar cases.
Thanks in advance.
