A bit of context...
I purchased a property 3 years ago and paid an advance towards the conveyancing fees based on the solicitor's verbal estimate prior to exchange. Following an engineer's survey further legal work was required to rectify boundaries and formalise rights of way between 3 parties. I was quoted separately for this work but withheld funds pending a reconcilliation/final bill. The solicitor's work in this regard has long been completed as a search of my property on https://www.landdirect.ie/pramap/ indicates the mapping changes on my folios have been lodged and are pending. As far as I understand there are no further issues outstanding.
Over the past 3 years I have pressed the solicitors for an update and final bill and all I get are nods and yes's to everything I ask, and then nothing thereafter. I have since given up chasing them.
I may be mistaken but my understanding is the statute of limitations for what I still owe is 6 years, so the question is when did the clock start ticking on the 6 year period?
