It was paid to the solicitors, I emailed them before the took the job on to say that i require an early completion on 7 days

Thank you BRIGADIER2JCS for your response.

The Solicitors were working for both party's. They asked were would i like the keys sent and i informed them that i would pick them up from thier offices if this was a problem to let me know.

They never informed me that the keys were not there.

With regards to the early completion fee (£150) i have asked for the refund and they in all cases the Solicitors have said its not down to them.

Hello there.

 

You've posted in the forum that's about CAG itself. I hope you would get some answers in the General Legal forum, so will move your thread there and leave a redirect for you to follow.

thanks not sure where to post

I will keep it brief. I bought a house at auction, in the auction it stated that exchange of contracts must be with-in 14 days. On the day I instructed a solicitor to carry ok the conservancy work and ask then if they could complete with-in 7 days which they said there would be a fee of £150 for early completion. The company also dealt with the seller but from a different office. Right long and short of it all. It took nearly four weeks to exchange contracts and further more they asked where did I want the keys to be sent, I asked to pick them up from there offices which were 50 miles away. I went down to pick them up 6 days later and they informed me that they had not got the keys that the seller still had them. So I had spent money on fuel and to change the locks. Do I claim for the £150 plus loss of travel and change of locks from the company or seller?

Surely this would only be on new defaults and not old ones before this year?
