I was coming close to completing the purchase of a property. The snag list had been handed to the builder and I was waiting for indication for the resnag to completed before I closed on the sale. The snag list was handed in just before the builders holidays which coincided with my holidays. He told me that they wouldn't be doing the snags until after the holidays as the site was closed. Upon my arrival home three weeks later I had a letter from the mortgage provider saying that the cheque had been drawn down during my holidays (during the builders holidays). I tried to ring the solicitors assitant who was dealing with my purchase but she was away on holidays. It transpires that she drew down the cheque before she went on her holidays. For my convenience I had completed the house insurance forms before I went on holidays and forward dated it. A week after my arrival home the snags were completed and the keys were handed over a full three weeks after the cheque had been drawn down.The assistant who had drawn down the cheque was still on holidays during all this but has now rang me to call in and close all the paperwork which I presume is to pay the bill.
I only want to pay the bill owed less 3 weeks of my first mortgage repayment.Solicitor is supposed to act in my best interest but was more concerned with cleaning her work slate before her holidays.
