Advice on Purplebricks Conveyancing

[apjs87]

Hello guys. First time poster here so sorry for the long one.


I have recently sold with Purplebricks and at the time chose to defer payment until after the sale was completed. It was explained to me at the time that as a result of this, we would have to use the conveyancing services that PB provide.


Since reading reviews on the conveyancing options available with PB, it is not good reading at all and would now like to use my own solicitor.


I communicated this to my property expert who then informs me that a £340 fee will have to be paid as an admin unlock fee!!


I do not feel this is fair and at no point was this explained to me prior to me listing with PB. Following a review of the contract, the Advanced Conveyancing quote and the agreement document, I cannot find anything in writing to say that I would have to pay £340 to not use these services! Nor have I signed any formal documentation containing this fee information.


After seeking out legal advice, my solicitor is in agreement that these fees should not be paid and nor are they fair.


Please can you offer any advice on the matter?


Thank you
Adam

If you could post up the signed contract on here with personal details redacted others should be able to advise hopefully your solicitor is correct

I have since found the wording further down in the terms. Not in the ways to pay section but in the cancellations sections. Sorry to have wasted peoples time.
