Other people's conveyancing solicitors... FFS.
Our buyer's solicitors are really on it but our vendor's haven't managed to get the grant of probate to our solicitors yet despite it being granted two and a half weeks ago. They haven't answered our solicitor's enquiries yet either and some go all the way back to December.
Our solicitor suggested being put into an email chain with their agent and she's doing a good job of going into battle, but we need the vendor's to put pressure on their solicitor.
If we don't meet the stamp duty deadline we're going to lose £15k because of their crap solicitors and obviously I don't see why we should pick that up, so if things don't get better in a few days I will be asking the agent to relay that thought to the vendor.
Is there anything else we can do?
