Hi, we’re mid purchase of a resident managed flat in a converted building, the sale highlighted a lack of FRA, one has now been carried out but it’s assessed the risk as “moderate” our solicitor is insisting that we contact the management company ourselves to ask for a timeline of when the remedial works will be carried out in order to satisfy the lender. Should the onus to do this be on us personally? My feeling is that it should our solicitor dealing with this in our behalf, is it not the vendors problem at this stage? (Pre exchange) Thanks for any advice.

If your solicitor does it then it will be chargeable maybe they are trying to save you money

Conveyancing is almost always fixed fee, unless the file gets really complicated.

I'd normally expect the seller's conveyancer to be dealing with questions like that. Maybe they think the management company will reply to you faster.

The sellers solicitors should be dealing with this.

Thanks all, we are going to go back to our solicitor today and tell them that they need to hand this over to the vendors side to be sorting.
