i am currently in process of purchasing a second hand home.my solicitor quoted me a fee for the house purchase based on good title being shown for property in question.if there were problems with the title etc. it would cost more for additional work.Fair enough !
My solicitor has informed me that good tiltle cannot be shown on property
and has informed vendors solicitor to remedy this and there will be an extra €500 plus vat onto fee for additional work.
My issue is that i presume the onus is on the vendor to show good title
and without knowing the exact details surely their solicitor neglected to
spot this when current owners purchased house.there is obviously a problem with the title and it would have been an issue for them sooner or later anyway.
Because someone else has been negligent in previous conveyancing it costs me an extra €605 to my solicitor.This seems very unjust to me that the client has to burden someone else's mistake.
Do solicitors have insurance for situations like this and is it worth my while following up on it ?
While solicitors correspond between them sorting an issue that a solicitor
neglected to sort out previously i end up paying for it.
Does this seem unfair to anybody else or isit just me?.
Any Advice
