Hello
I was at the solicitor last week and signed contracts - we are due to close tomorrow - The solicitor indicated that he had not received the booking deposit from the estate agent - it is for 5K - Is it normal for the estate agent to hold onto the booking deposit up to closing - Luckily we have enough funds to cover us but what if we had needed this 5 K in order to close .
