...errrr... suck. Solicitors suck - yep, that's it.
Today we finally received our copy of the signed contract. As well as another document to sign. This new one is an addendum to the contract to change the settlement date. The original settlement date was set down for 30 days from the date of the contract ie: 30 days from when the second party signed the contract. That happened on the 17th of September which would have made settlement due on Monday (4 days from now). Why has it taken 4 weeks for the contract to get to us? The bank's solicitor didn't send it. It seems he/she didn't think we needed it. Apparently we should be busy organising our finance for the purchase. Something we have already organised and has just been waiting for... you guessed it - the contract!
The Crazy thing is that the bank that is waiting to get a copy of the contract is the same bank that we are buying the property from, so they have been waiting for their own solicitor to send them a copy of their own contract!
Solicitors rock.
SUCK! It's supposed to say suck. Dammit.
A bientot!
