COMPLETION DATE CHANGED

[advice seeker]

Hi Folks

I bought a property recently. However, the seller changed the completion date a few times.

I had sent all the funds to my solicitor a few weeks before exchange and completion, according to the original exchange and completion dates.

Am I entitled to any interest earned on the funds which were held by my solicitor for those few weeks?

Thanks in advance

Typically yes. But check your contract with the solicitor as this may contain specific clauses to limit his/her obligations.

I can imagine the frustration but, being pedantic, until contracts are exchanged you haven't really 'bought' the property, you are still negotiating the deal.
