Default Useless sodding solicitors

Have just had to write a massive complaint letter to a solicitor as they are fucking about with the conveyancing. Needless to say, 3 months on, Im pissed off beyond belief.

I was very calm and collected in the email, but I couldn't resist this at the end of it.

I await your response on this matter and also from your boss Mr Rupert Morton Curtis. I have included a contact email address and also 5 separate telephone numbers. Failure to reply will simply reinforce my belief that as solicitors you are useless, and as customer oriented people, you have worse manners than a corpse!

i had the same mate
it turned out that the soliciters that were dealing with the seller didn't get on with the soliciter who was doing my thing, and so they just stalled it for 4 months

that and the bloke selling the house decided after 3 months he didn't want to sell the house after all

cocks the lot of them

and don't even get me started on the estate agents

get a good solicitor and stick with them! ours has been fanstastic (altho i should hold judgement until we complete!!), cant say the same for the estate agents though, Fox and Sons - worst estate agents in the fuckin world.
went with redwoods after giving up with fox and they have been superb.

all the luck of the draw i think!

They will open that letter and laugh and put it at the bottom of the 'to be seen too' list and then for good measure charge you another couple of hundred quid. There is a reason that all lawyers are loaded and thats because they do what they want when they want to do it, not unfortuneately when the customer wants it done.

Good ending to the letter though. well done

Its not my solicitor, its the buyers. She's known to be the biggest pain in the arse and I'm getting totally frustrated with her.

I copied in her boss, our leaseholder and our solicitor for good measure. I'm also going to send a copy to the Estate Agent who has been really good about this and get him to forward it to the buyers aswell so they know what a complete tool they have employed.

So farked off about the whole thing, we could potentially lose our dream house because of this nitpicking little twit

That's a shame mate I don't see a way around that kind of thing. I think you've done the right thing by complaining to their solicitor.
