It's a free market so there's nothing to stop you setting up your own site on that or any other topic. And you don't necessarily need that much technical know-how to run such a site given that hosting providers can do much of the work for you. You do, however, need the courage of your convictions and to put some money where your mouth is though. Just look at what Brendan started when he set up AAM a few years ago!Chamar said:Believe me, I would love to - but I wouldn't want to rip off anyone's idea, as well as not really having the technical know-how. Actually I had contacted the person involved and they have recently started a Yahoo! group. Here's the link:

I am in the process of selling my house, and buying another. Contracts just about to be signed on both (next few days) - have been asking solicitor for quotation for about 6 weeks, finally received it yesterday - solicitor is looking for 1% of sale price, and 1% of purchase price plus vat plus costs. This equates to at least 16,000 Euro!!! I am not rich - am cleaned out financially after recent separation. This firm of solicitors dealt with my separation, that's why I am still with them. I am not sure if I am tied into using them, but feel it would be very tricky to change solicitors at this late stage. I rang around solicitors from Golden Pages yesterday, and got a quote for selling and buying of 2000 Euro plus vat plus costs. I don't know what line to take with current solicitor - should I tell them to put a hold on contracts being signed, until the relevant partner talks to me about fees? I don't want to jeopardise my sale or purchase either....
Any advice?

Don't take this at face value. Your vendor won't pull out because you change solicitors. They might pull out if they think they can get a quick sale at a higher price if they put the house back on the market. Judge the situation for yourself.Sav H said:Tried to change solicitors, but estate agent who is selling my new house to me, said that if I changed solicitors at this late stage, the vendor of my new house, who is already nervous as contracts have yet to be signed, could possibly pull out, and I would lose that house. She advised me to sign contracts and then change solicitors, if need be.
