I'm starting off the switching process and part of the process obviously involves a solicitor. When I was buying the house I think my solicitor took me for a ride. I found out afterwards that I paid a fair bit more than similar purchasers and I didn't have any itemized receipt. I didn't look into it as the job was done.

So for switching I've 2 questions.

What are the set of questions I should ask a solicitor for switching.
And does anybody have anybody they'd recommend as great.
 
What part of the country are you in ? You should have a reasonably local solicitor for form filling.

I assume that is a joke? Vanilla has written elsewhere about what is involved in a re-mortgage situation.

When we're filling out the "forms" to record the change of names of the lenders, we also certify the title as being in order, having done a thorough investigation into same, putting our Professional Indemnity on the line.

I have had clients lie to me about marital status, planning problems, boundary issues all of which are title problems and all of which put my neck on the line.

Actually no, but what I meant was for form signing. While I presume things have moved on but I was asked to come in personally to sign the forms in their presence.

The visible part of the iceberg my friend. The solicitor does all the work in the background so the client just has to come in and sign a couple of forms.

For some reason people are jumping down my throat and think that I am giving solicitors a hard time. I am not and am aware of the work required. I'm just pointing out that it is a lot easier to go and sign relevant forms in Dublin if you live in Dublin rather than getting a solicitor in Cork which would require a long journey and a days work for the vendor. Gawd :rolleyes:

I get you. There's a couple of different ways to interpret the original post. Everyone's happy now though. :)
