Morning all
I am effing busy this morning, or I'd have posted this in the "ask advice from a b3tan" thread.

I have had an offer on a flat accepted WOOOOOO!!!!

Anyone have a strong recommendation / warning for a solicitor for the purchase?

yes, they're all cunts.
Also, I've bought and sold 3 times around London. Every time the solicitors fucked up the financials. Twice in their favour, so I pointed this out gently and got the money back. Once, £9K in my favour, so I didn't mention it and they never noticed.

When property solicitors consistently can't do a sum that Monty's daughter would get right 9 times out of 10 you need to seriously worry about them as a species.

it is in the solicitors accounts rule: lawyers can't count
we have a brilliant resi team, but they would be three times the price that lighty needs to pay for this kind of deal.

Totally, I'm talking about residential solicitors here
but fucking seriously? it is SUCH a simple piece of maths and they never get it right.

And, oh, call me cynical, but up here, where everything is simpler and transactions are fixed fee and solicitors have no vested interest in delaying stuff, everything remarkably takes place smoothly with very few errors. I can't imagine why.

Good lord!
You're not suggesting that solicitors might be useless money-grabbing cunts, are you?

I wish. I live in central Edinburgh, sweetie, it's not exactly cheap.
