I don’t know the answer to that. Our house was 5 years old so maybe they didn’t follow the new build procedure. The solicitor said she was checking her system and ‘computer says no’ and she couldn’t seem to get past that.

In these situations I always feel for the solicitor you are one of many cases they are dealing with. If there is an issue it’s easiest for them to put it to one side and move onto the next case.
For yourself it’s the only ‘case’ you are dealing with. And your top priority. So you need to push it forward as no one else is as interested in it completing as you are.
