Hi
I am in the processs of buying a house and i hope someone can give me advice on this situation. we are buying a new house in portarlington for €237000. we are first time buyers. we paid the booking deposit of €3000. now my solicitor is saying that the builders solicitor wants a total payment of €20,200.
This friday we are meant to be in our solictors handing over a cheque for €17,200 (€20,200-€3,000).
I dont understand why the builders solicitor is asking for this much when we have a 92% mortgage and as first time buyers i thought we should only be paying 8% (€18,960-€3,000=€15,960).
Can anyone help?
Yours
