I've been trying to get my solicitor to provide me with an endemnity letter regarding a transaction that took place while selling my late mother's home. I don't want to go into the details of the circumstances surrounding the case but suffice to say that certain monies were withheld by the estate agent and I am trying to get that sorted. Everything was done correctly and within the law on our side but not on the part of the estate agent and the body to whom he is affiliated wants the endemnity before parting with the monies held.
I had nothing but long delays with my solicitor during the sale of the home and unfortunately he is known for foot dragging. (i didn't know this before engaging him) I wrote to him over a month ago requesting the letter of endemnity but I didn't even receive a reply. I have phoned almost every second day since and keep getting excuses from his secretary.
My question is can another solicitor issue such a letter or must I keep after this guy. I am sick and tired of his lazy way of dealing with things and I'd rather go elsewhere if possible. I;ve had to take this action regarding the outstanding monies myself because he was too lazy to be bothered with it. Could someone please help me on this one.
Can someone tell me what I can do.
