We are trying to sell our house and two buyers pulled out, we are now on the third buyer. Our Solicitor is charging us for the buyers who pulled out, is this normal practice?
We are trying to sell our house at present and are on the third buyer, the two previous buyers both messed us around and led us to believe they were in a position to buy. The first one fell out with his wife and the second one's husband did not have a permanent job, this was after six weeks of saying all was well and asking us to take the property off the market. This sale we hope will go well but the Solicitor has sent us all the paper work and added at the bottom that we have to pay for two parties puling out of the sale but it didn't even get to contract stage. Is this normal practice?
It depends upon the Solicitor's Terms of Business. Charging for working on matters that did not proceed to exchange of contracts is quite standard, however we can put you in contact with a Solicitor who will act on a no sale no fee basis.
