Hello
I am hoping someone can advise me with this. We finally signed contracts on the sale of our house yesterday, buyers had already signed their end. Our solicitor noticed when we were in with him that the buyers had paid a bit under the usual 10%, but the figure appearing on the contract was 10% of the purchase price. So he scribbled it out and wrote over it. We pointed out that he hadn’t actually taken into account the refundable deposit that they had paid a few weeks ago, so yet again he scribbled out the amount and wrote over it. It all looked very messy and we asked him if he was sure it was ok to be making changes after the buyers had already signed. He said everything was fine because the purchase price didn’t change.
Can anyone confirm that this contract is still ok?
Our solicitor seems to be a little incompetent and 2007 also appeared several times on the contract and he had to change it to 2010!
I’m really worried that we will find out in a few weeks that the contract is not valid and I’m due a baby in 10 weeks!
Any help would be much appreciated….
