If this is the way the solicitor works then a word of warning from the agent/s to them that they will not be receiving anymore business should make them listen. Hope you get it sorted out.

Thank you so much for the info! I have checked this out today and unfortunately they are not a member of AIPP and as far as i know there is only the UK agent, the Egyptian developer and the Egyptian lawyer in the chain..... We do not feel that the agent has helped us out as much as they could have and certainly I have been the one doing all the ringing around - im sure i must have spent about £300 on ringing egypt to speak to the lawyer and the developers in this month alone!
Hopefully we can finally get things resolved next week (I'v just posted another reply in this thread with an update of where things are up to!)
I will be so glad once this is sorted - its taking up sooooo much of my time. And to think - we used a reputible local based agent to avoid this sort of thing! LOL!
Thanks again, sue x
