| Solicitor dragging his feet and slowing down the process |

Description
Who is the Rogue?:
Conveyancer
How does it work?: Despite all the upfront assurances you get from your conveyancer that he'll move as quickly as possible, it's very rarely the case. When you call them to kick some ass, you'll often get fobbed out with the same excuses like..."local searches still not in" or "still waiting on question from other solicitor". They insist on communicating via letter and never bothering to phone or send an email. They are generally very busy and do not take a proactive stance at all when it comes to progressing the transaction. How to avoid this scam?: Choosing a proactive solicitor you can actually talk to is critical to helping control the pace of a successful transaction. Irrespective of whether you have an agreed offer in hand, be aware that a solicitor won't do anything until your initial deposit is cashed. When some issues/questions arise, it can often be much quicker to resolve them directly with the buyer (or seller) via the estate agent. The agent has a vested interest in making the process flow as quickly so he gets paid. Scam reviews There are no reviews for this item. To write a review please register or login. |
