Hi Everyone,
My solicitor has gone home for the day and I don't think I will sleep a wink if I can't get some advice on my conundrum!!
I had a 10 day cooling off period which ended today at 5pm.
Based on the building report, I decided to pull out of the sale.
I alerted my real estate agent to this fact this morning via email and received acknowledgement.
I emailed my solicitor however due to my inbox being oversized, this email never sent.
I then went into a work meeting at 4 which didn't finish until 515. I came back to a mass of missed calls and emails from my real estate agent and solicitor stating that as I didn't let my solicitor know, and the cooling off period had expired, I was now bound to purchase!
I am hoping that:
- the fact I emailed my real estate agent
- the fact the I TRIED to email my solicitor
- the fact I didn't provide a 10% deposit
Would mean that I am not bound to go ahead with the purchase (NB: I realise, and am happy to lose my 0.25% deposit).
What is my position?
Few things also (and I'm not trying to shift the blame).
Should my solicitor not be contacting me before 5.15 to notify me of the fact?
Thanks,
Jodie
