Hi, i have a seriously big problem..

Story goes ..

In March 2011 i bought a property. I paid the 10% but was told by my lawyer, X that we will have to wait.. Cuz the house was under a will, and they had to clear to get the probate.. X said that the estimated time for the court to grant probate & etc will be settled my Nov. True enough, in Aug, they called and said it was clear.

At that time, we hunted for loan, and got the loan in Oct 2011. The owner gave us some time to reapply for the banks loans, and didn't bother much about this delay.
Banks agreement were received on 8 Nov.
Bank hired their lawyers, Lousy, and we received their letter on 29 Nov stating that they were acting for the bank.

We produced every doc that was requested by Lousy so that it could be processed asap, since we have waited for soooo long!


But Lousy was indeed a champion. They forgot my case.


Until end January. This was discovered when X contacted them to check on the status, because the S & P was going to expire on 3rd Feb..
The vendor was nice enough to accept the delay, and extend S&P another 1 week.. Vendor and I agreed that it should be settled by Feb 16th.

That 2 weeks also not enough, cuz the Lousy and X cannot get along at the same pace. Either one sure forget to slip in a important document...
I dont know what was the real story behind, but everyone kept pointing fingers at each other.

We incur further delay...
16 Feb - 24 Feb... we kena charge interest for full amt of loan.


24 Feb we received a redemption sum, and I am now charged interest for the Balance not received until 3 May.


Total payment for interest is RM2847.

One thing i know for sure is that i kept calling them towards end of March , but they keep pointing fingers, and all this delay was because one missing doc by one another, and the submission to High court was rejected, etc.

March can delay to May...even when i keep following up.

Still have to pay even when its not my fault... all lawyers delay...

Now vendor is waiting for her cheque from X (full balance).
As for me, I have to pay interest to vendor in order to get the keys..


HOW AH??? how can I not pay, and demand this bunch of lousy professionals to pay for their mistake?

Is this possible??

I have no clue as this is my first house.. and all the excitement all faded already.. wait more than one year, and then now have to pay extra -__-"


PLEASE HELLLPP ! cry.gif

Thanks Dariofoo.


this cheque was a balance left (after the redemption sum was release in on 25 feb) was written to the lawyers name on 3rd may. . so they had to bank in the cheque, and issue another cheque on the vendors name.

So they stop calculating the interest from the date they received the cheque..

I have 2 different amount of interest..
A) delay - 25 Feb (release of redemption sum)
B) 25 Feb - 3 May (when balance paid)


about how much will it cost for a lawyer to help me in this case?
