To our vendor's solicitor,
I hope you sleep well at night! I also hope that one day you will decide to purchase a property. You would be a cash buyer and there will be no chain, however your vendor will choose a solicitor...well, like yourself. That solicitor will take around two months to order a Leasehold Information pack and, among other delays, the final enquiries would still be ongoing after 7 weeks (they would be returned after 6 weeks but the majority would not be answered to a satisfactory level).
After 5 months of trying to buy that property, your rental agreement would be coming to an end and, unless you urgently find somewhere to live, you will basically be homeless with a two year old child.
So, perhaps after all the stress and sheer hopelessness of this situation, you would then decide to have a change of career...delivering letters or selling tomatoes perhaps? Just a suggestion.
It also states on your website that you have a sense of humour so I thought I'd humour you and let you know that me and my husband have placed a bet on when this purchase will complete. I'm giving Ross Coates solicitors a bit of credit here, saying it will be done by Christmas while my husband is not so sure. So if Ross Coates solicitors will manage to complete it by Christmas I will share my £5 winnings! There, how's that for incentive?!
