the seller signed aswell but as the house has a carport my solicitor is doing some enquiries into that. He wants to know something about construction etc. We were due to complete 2nd april but i hope it doesnt delay us. My solicitor just wants the other parties soliticitor to confirm its just a sheet with no pillars. The seller phoned me today s the house im buying off her is nextdoor to my mum. But she is living up north as the house was her mothers and her mother died. Please tell me what too do as i dont want her backing out last minute i put alot off effort into this. Please guide me.

Unfortunately your solicitor is correct..a buyer in the UK or a seller can pull out of a deal up to the day contracts are exchanged , actually signing them does not seal the deal. I know this because we had a buyer pull out of purchasing our house after we had signed contracts. We should have been moving the same week and had packed most of our stuff,I was also 6 months pregnant.All very stressful stuff.Don't panic yet ! it sounds like your solicitor is just making sure everything is legit before you exchange.Something always crops up when buying and selling. If your worried you can call your solicitor and discus this with them.They shouldn't charge you anything for having a chat. I have moved 4 times and never been charged anything for phone calls. Good luck!

Why are you paying a solicitor for legal advice you do not want or believe? An agreement to buy and sell real estate usually requires formalities that must be strictly adhered to. In any event, your solicitor seems concerned about an issue that could involve the property not being up to code or structurally deficient, meaning it would cost you money to fix it up. If so, the sale/purchase price should reflect the expense you are purchasing along with the real estate.

Only when contracts are signed is it a done deal. Fingers crossed, prayer mats out and hold your breath at this stage.
