Hi everyone,
Settlement day took place a week ago. I am the seller, I've received the settlement amount but still haven't received the 10% deposit as part of it.
The settlement statement does include the deposit. I asked my conveyancer to please update me on the timeline for the deposit return. My conveyancer advised me to contact the real estate agent directly.
Only documents in my possession are the Sales Contract and Purchase Settlement Statement from conveyancer. Nothing from Real Estate Agent.
I'm curious about your experiences – how soon after settlement did you receive your deposit?
Also, should the conveyancer be responsible for chasing this, or is it more appropriate for me to reach out to the real estate agent myself?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I would tell the conveyancer to do their job
