To be honest, 2 weeks is actually enough for the loan lawyer to complete everything and advice for drawdown.

On the other hand, if the property is unencumbered and free from restrictions, it ought to have been completed much earlier.

However, that is just the general way things work and in conveyancing practice, no one file is the same and each file has its different nature.

Was the vendor also represented? When did you obtain your loan? How soon after the SPA date did the loan lawyer write to the purchaser and vendor requesting for the relevant confirmation, undertakings and documents? All those factors must be considered also.

If you feel aggrieved your remedy is to file an official complaint to the A&S Discip Board [see page one of this thread for more details]

But most complaints to the Board gets dismissed summarily. So, you need to back it up with lots of evidence, like documents, correspondence, etc. If truly there was a long, inordinate delay by the SPA lawyer, then perhaps your complaint will have some merit. Afraid of being penalised, the lawyer would surely offer to reimburse you the late penalty interest.

Bro, I asked you few questions to help you shed more light on this, so please do answer those questions. No point asking me back again the same thing. I don't know why your SPA lawyer takes up so much time. If you want, you should demand for all the correspondence from your SPA lawyer. That ought to help.

No prob, small matter.

2 weeks from date of SPA is pretty fast. Now, has the property already been reassigned to the vendor or has the discharge of charge already been registered? Sometimes the vendor may have settled the loan but he did not instruct the bank to appoint  a lawyer to do the discharge/reassignment so that the original documents are returned to him. In this case, if the vendor already has the ori docs in hand, that ought to save at least 3 weeks.

So now you need to determine, through the correspondence between the vendor, SPA lawyer and loan lawyer, as to where the delay came from. Not fair just point the blame at the SPA lawyer from the outset. Perhaps the other parties replied to his correspondence late. You'll only know til you find out.

So start gathering the correspondence (if any of the lawyers did not cc it to you before) and put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle togehter. From there you can't tell who's dragging their feet. Oh, don't forget the bank too, There might be a delay there too.
