Hi There o wise ones and kindred spirits! 
I have a situation and am confused.
We have gone unconditional a few weeks ago. Our solicitor sorted all our documents etc. (as normal)
Yesterday I received a call from the vendor's agent telling me that the vendor's solicitor told the agent to get in touch with us because the loan document has not been sent to the vendor's solicitor hence not yet "approved".
Agent insisted I faxed over these documents to her ASAP. Work has been flat tack and I didnt have time (thankfully) to do it (though I was confused when I was on the phone with the agent). I told the agent that I would ring our solicitor immediately and find out what is going on as we had signed off all docs, LIM, builder's inspection, deposit payment etc weeks ago. The agent insisted the fax would suffice.
Anyway, called our solicitor who told me that he was just speaking to the vendor's solicitor and she knew that everything was all kosher. Our solicitor was confused as to why the agent wanted me to fax over our loan docs? I was very confused and emailed our solicitor to report this quite "rush" insistent request.
It doesnt stop here.
This morning I received a call from the agent at 8am asking if we would allow for our funds to be transfered to the vendor. We asked the agent to speak to our solicitor. So our solicitor calls me and told me that the agent was asking release of the funds before the 10day holding period. He asked me if we know why the agent is requesting this. We don't know.
Because there are a few missing bits in the house from the chattel's list when I last saw the place, our solicitor wants to get confirmation of these things before the funds are released.
So - is this normal? Why would the vendor solicitor ask the agent to get us to fax our loan docs? And why would an agent ask for funds to be released early?
It has left me a little wary.
This afternoon, I drove by the Property we purchased and despite it going unconditional a few weeks ago, the SOLD sticker is not slapped on the for sale board and in fact, the for sale board is new.....
What do you think? This is the FIRST time i am in this situation. And if the agent is going to "exhaust" more of our solicitor's time, i am going to pass the cost to the agent
