This solicitor was a recommended solicitor by The developer that wanted me to use. Although Guy was very helpful to begin with, but just be aware to have your mortgage product offer before instructing them, In case your mortgage lender does not have them in the lenders panel. I had to switch lender, and unfortunately elite law were not in their panel, so I have to change solicitor. But because it’s in their small print they will make you pay the Abortive fee which is more than what you would pay if you were to go through with them. You would think they want to keep you as future client, and out of Goodwill just charge you the searches fee But they do not care at all. And make sure you ask for all the help before you close the case, as they are not going to help you if you need anything else later.
Basically make sure you have your mortgage offer before instructing them Otherwise, you lose out big time! Ive lost about £5k due to this unfortunate situation.
