Lawyer messed up or did he?
Myself and my wife bought or house 2-3 years ago and we weren't very happy with the solicitor we used. First off he was simply rude,arrogant and lazy straight off but that is just bad customer service I guess.
He did have two issue which suggest to me that he should be pulled up on.
1)After we signed everything and had our last hause sold too all should have been fine. After a month we noticed the mortgage we had on the first house had not been paid off! They somehow "foregot" to pay the mortgage company. I got an appology and it was sorted out and a way of renumeration I was informed that one of the letters I had to ask to be sent would have cost €150 so he wasn't charging me. THat was meant to make it all better and my wife talked me out about making a full complaint
2) Yesterday I arrived home to find a letter and cheque from the solicitor. Apparently he has now registered the deeds (i know there is a lot of time for them to do this). THe cheque was the amount of cash "left over" from the process. €550!
I am really suspicious now that he has done something well dodgy. Is this normal? THe wife says we should just be happy with the money but I really quite worried and quite angry about it. I am normally somebody who says try to understand the other position and then decide so an explanation with how he could be paying me money back so late happens is what I am looking for
