Your agent/lawyer cannot advise on this?

You have requested to bring forward the completion day, the sellers also have a right not to agree and on the advise of their law firm, if they are agreeable to bring forward but at $218, because they need to expedite the works to be done for the advance completion, if you are not agreeable then you can allow the completion date to remain as it is.

Lawyers work on the interest of their clients, therefore your lawyer is also working to your interest while seller's lawyer is working to their interest. There is nothing wrong with this amount being requested for in order to expedite the process since it is differing from original agreement. Is your lawyer charging you additional for requesting to advance the completion date? Some law firms does charge additional to the clients for every additional letter to be written to their counter parts. Read More

Hi,

1) In general completion, it will take about 3 months from the exercise date to complete all the paperwork.
2) This completion period could be shortened to 2 months when the property is free from outstanding mortgage loans.
3) This is because this legal process involves approval from 8 authorities, and these authorities also need time to check/update their record before approving.
4) The requested fees from the seller's lawyer could be overtime pay and extra efforts needed for their staff to chase after the authorities and financial institute.
5) Your lawyer is not wrong to say that it is unusual to ask for a fee to expedite the process because usually, the law firm will just reject the request.

Hello,

- It’s uncommon for lawyers to charge an additional fee just to bring forward a completion date.
- Confirm that the original Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P) allows for changes in the completion date without additional charges.
- Discuss the matter directly with the seller to see if they are aware and agreeable to the change without extra fees.
- If the seller’s lawyer insists on the fee, request a written justification.

For more personalized assistance and navigating through this situation smoothly, feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you.

Review the Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P): Double-check the S&P to see if there are any clauses allowing for a change in the completion date without incurring additional charges.

Talk to the Seller: Have an open conversation with the seller to see if they're aware of your request and if they'd agree to move up the completion date without extra fees.

Seller's Lawyer Insists on Fee: If the seller's lawyer demands an additional fee for the date change, politely request a written explanation for this charge.

Additional Tip: It's generally uncommon for lawyers to charge extra for simply bringing the completion date forward. Consider negotiating or seeking alternative solutions if faced with such a fee.
