My sister is buying an apartment in an 10 year old complex.
Her lawyer is holding up the sale because she (the lawyer) says that although there is a deed of easement , a supplementary deed is required to say there is a legal right of way to access/repair pipes in common areas.
The seller's solicitor says this extra deed is not neccessary and my sisters solicitor is simply holding up the sale.
So I wonder who is right? And how is it possible that solicitors could disagree like this.
Any opinions appreciated.
