I am mid purchase of a house, solicitor was recommended by my financial advisor. Its been 20 years since i last bought a house so perhaps things have changed? Firstly i have never met my solicitor face to face, id was requested and i went into their office and a secretary took copies. In fact i had no contact with the solicitor at all prior to the offer going in, and only a short 1 min phone call with him about a month after the offer was accepted as i queried something. I didnt even receive a copy of the offer until after my query, and only then did i find out the proposed completion date. The last time i purchased my solicitor had me in going over all clauses pre offer, agreeing a completion date, going over titke deeds. Hes retired now so couldnt use him. We are two weeks from completion and ive just looked at offer and the title deed cuts off half the rear garden as opposed to whats in the sales particulars. My solicitor should pick that up? Or be going through the burdens in the title?
