For all solicitors on this forum. I have recently sold my property and solicitors have done council, water and strata searches 1 month before settlement and used these searches for settlement adjustments.
This resulted in them not picking up council and strata fees that have been paid by me in those 30 days and as a result in double charging me.
My questions are:
When do solicitors have to conduct all searches for adjustment purposes. 30 days seems to be a way too early.
How do I recover overpayment of fees.
