HI All, Thanks for the advice thus far, but our situation is two fold:
1) We aren't so much interested in suing for interest. After 7 months of waiting in total, we signed the contract a month ago and paid our deposit. The vendor stipulated an end date of 3 June 2005. Apparently 28 days after this date we can sue to get our deposit back, including other expenses such as solicitor's fees, furniture deposit, surveyor's fees and emotional distress (because believe me this has been the most unpleasant experience of our lives). Can this be done, because frankly we have had enough...
2) Our solicitor, to put it mildly has been very unhelpful, to the point where he hardly returns calls (the same goes for the property agent that sold us the property) and we would like to change solicitor's after 28 days. Can this be done as well? And what are the fees that in this case we would have to pay to the old and new solicitors?
Thanks
Arianna & Morne`
