Looking to reinstate my tracker and just want to get all the paperwork looked over by an experienced eye before really putting my foot down :)
 
Why did this get no replies?


Is it because solicitors are afraid of the banks?
 
Because posts on askaboutmoney are limited to 1,000 words, insufficient to reproduce the entire membership list of the Law Society.

That is what solicitors do: specialise in mortgages.

Why then did you say recently in another thread

Many solicitors and barristers have no understanding at all of mortgages and financial issues.

Perhaps it's because we're all afraid of Robert Mugabi and the 4th of March is a significant date in his life, so best keep stum! Or perhaps it's because no one could be bothered to answer or or or ....

In any case from your posting history and the fact that your digging up this old threat it's clear you have your own agenda.

Because they don't.

They have a good understanding of the law of contract, or at least, they should have.

But they would not be able to calculate an overcharge in the way that Padraic Kissane could.

I agree 100%.

My experience (as an observer) of repossession cases, for example, is that borrowers would be better served by a financial advisor / accountant / tax advisor rather than a legal advisor.

Even the Registrar and the Judges don't seem to understand what are often pretty mundane financial issues.

I watched a solicitor put up a half-hearted attempt to get an adjournment on behalf of a mortgage holder. When the Registrar refused, the bank has to go through the paperwork with the Registrar before the Registrar grants the order. And what was the solicitor doing? Texting away paying no attention. There would have been a few opportunities to question the paperwork. She had to be disturbed by the Registrar to ask what an appropriate stay would be.

I was really shocked and agree with Gordon that if the Registrar allows a financial advisor to speak, the borrower would be far better off.
