I think you are about to discover that the only thing solicitors make clear to their "clients" is their bill !!!

basically he would appear to be saying "yes" but as you have to pay for his time, why use a short word when a big long sentaance will surfice.
incidentaly can any one tell me why "Abbreviation" is such a long word

So you can abbreviate it to "abb." !!!!!

Totally agree masona, I brought new cylinder barrel and when I move ( which is a lot), take it with me, you never know what thieving toe rags have lived there before
I've got a law degree... hopefully can help you out here.
When you move, there's a point called 'exchange of contracts'. This is basically when you pay your deposit and sign up to the fact that you've agreed price etc and you're happy with everything. Either side pulls out, they can be sued for breaching the contracts. BUT the house isn't technically your property yet. That comes when you 'complete' ie the house is registered in your name, and the full amount changes hands.
The seller may give you permission to enter and I suppose to do certain things... are you looking to boot the seller out and use the property exclusively as yours before you've actually completed (ie handed over all your dosh)?
If so what will happen is that you will get a 'licence to occupy' for the time you want to be in, prior to the completion of the sale/purchase (usually sale and purchase happen on the same day). You could get in before the purchase actually goes through but the seller isn't obliged to agree, and your solicitor should definitely have something in writing from them. If it's more than a few hours the seller may well want to charge you (and they should do because otherwise there isn't a binding legal licence). It's a complex area of law but basically the seller is agreeing you can go in, under the same mechanism as for a short-tem let of their property to you.
Most solicitors recommend to sellers that they don't do this.
Am I babbling, or is this making any sense at all? It's sort of difficult without more info...
