  • So we've just had an offer accepted (yay but oh shit, it's getting real!) Does anyone have any good recommendations for solicitors? We're buying in forest gate so local would be better.

    Many thanks!

  • Bob Bentley in Walthamstow is good.

  • I would have recommended Gisby Harrison, but Martin Browne (who I used in the past when I bought in Forest Gate) has retired, and his replacement was ok but we still had quite a few communication issues at critical points.

    On that, we are finally in. However the day of completion was a shambles, ending in our funds from both sales only arriving at 4pm after numerous cockups in the chain below us. Cue rebooking removal men and a night in a Premier Inn in Edmonton.

    We are now in the position of seeking advice on how we can recoup these costs, and expecting those above us in the chain to try and pass their compensation claims to us. Anyone else had this happen to them?
