Unfortunately I will have to sell a property I have via a short sell. I am wondering if anyone has sold a property through a short sell and what were some if any of the problems. For example; Did the bank give you any problems etc

I’m selling a property and the Solicitor seems to be taking a merry time over getting the legal work finished. I understand that he in turn has to wait on others but I have been phoning him week in week out for two months or more now when I was originally told that because it was only a small property it wouldn’t take long and the buyer was very keen to complete.

Every time I phone the Solicitor seems to have a ready (and new) excuse, yet I asked him if it was likely to be this side of Christmas as I was having to find a place to rent in the short term. If I’d rented when he’d intemated then I would have paid two months rent so far for nothing, while the sale property lay empty!

It’s got to a rediculous stage where I feel guilty for bothering him!

Having sold only one other property before this behaviour seems to be nothing but typical, but does anyone know what I can say to motivate him as my pleas don’t seem to have any concern at all?
