  • My conveyance solicitor refuses to give my solicitor access to the full file

    In 2014, my conveyance solicitor totally missed the fact that an overarching planning condition existed on the property I was going to buy. Unaware, I paid a premium for the property. The condition restricted use. When I found out about the planning condition in 2016 and contacted the conveyance solicitor, she fudged the issue and sent over two very dubious looking hand-written telephone attendance notes with the words 'pp' (planning permission) on one of them to try to prove that she had spoken to me about it on the phone. This is not true. The Ombudsman agreed with me - that the condition wasn't sent and no advice was given in writing. I began legal proceedings against the firm for failure to instruct on the condition. My solicitor repeatedly asked the firm for a full copy of the 2014 conveyance file and they refused. (I believe the notes had been fabricated) They would only supply the 'official documents' (plans, titles, searches etc) but refused to hand over any correspondence with me (letters, emails etc) or any other telephone / attendance notes etc. How can I get my file?
