They are specifically paid by the buyer to advise them on the legal issues and they have spectacularly failed to explain to their clients exactly what they are getting themselves into. If the Law Society had any honour they would be investigating this scandal and striking off these people left right and centre as unfit to be in the legal 'profession'. But they won't because they're just a closed shop union, protecting their own.<br /><br />(You might guess I don't think much of solicitors)Sobershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407417389022146963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-12838336653074055252017-08-13T08:52:38.687+01:002017-08-13T08:52:38.687+01:00The estate I live on was built in two stages, the ...The estate I live on was built in two stages, the first was leasehold, whilst the second stage was freehold.<br /><br />Luckily my house was a freehold property which I made sure of before purchasing. The house next to me is one of the leasehold ones. Something I was aware of when I did my <b>own</b> research on the estate.<br /><br />Sadly the couple who bought next door only found out about this when I asked them if they knew about the leasehold. Yet they had used a reputable firm of solicitors and had gotten a mortgage from a major lender.<br /><br />So I don't know who is to blame here?barnacle billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375356036844289964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-40280891834517215282017-08-12T14:55:16.873+01:002017-08-12T14:55:16.873+01:00The whole scam leaves some ugly issues unexplored;...The whole scam leaves some ugly issues unexplored; such as what on earth were the purchasers' solicitors doing if they didn't point to their clients the implications of the leasehold arrangements? And if those clients had taken proper mortgage advice, what were the mortgage advisers telling them / not telling them about risks and implications? (I know no one wants to pay for mortgage advice but for those who didn't, I have little-to-no sympathy).<br /><br />Agree with Bayard. Loud cries of "nobody told me!
