Solicitors expecting you to print everything!

[BG2015]

I cannot believe I've had to print everything out for the sale and purchase of my house.

They did give me the option to get it sent out if I didn't have a printer.

£2500 fees and I've got to print my own forms out 🤔

I honestly cant believe its not all online, someone on another thread said they signed their contracts digitally- why don't they all do that!!

If they gave you an option to post them out ...not really sure what the issue is?

They did give me the option to get it sent out if I didn't have a printer.

Why didn’t you just ask them to send it out then?

Because then it all takes time doesn't it.

So, they literally don't expect you to print everything then?

I can't
I don't have a laptop and trying to fill in endless form's on a phone is a joke
Paperwork is much better for some of us

Totally agree. All their work is done through a portal but I have to print off PDFs and hard sign them. This has resulted in me going to the local library to print everything off 16p a sheet!!! 😂 and annoying library staff who are printing it all off !

I guess because they are ‘legal’ you need a wet signature 🤷‍♀️

This is why we've chosen a solicitor walking distance from our house. Anything that needs signing we pop round. The postal service is awful here, we get post about once every ten days.

You don't need a wet signature for
Legal. Docusign is used all the time.

A good point @Rubyreddgirl - I should have said, why dont they all give the option for that.
