When to pay solicitors fees

Hi, hope someone can help, we have just started the process of buying an apartment in Calis - is it standard practise to pay the solicitor his fees up front. Not sure how it works in Turkey comopared to the UK. Thanks

I think it is or at least a 'retainer fee' (same as UK)  If you are buying for the first time then would seriously suggest you don't use the same lawyer that the seller uses (like I did, DUH!)  If you don't have a lawyer ask around, some good, some bad.

I paid mine at the end of the buying process and only when all the legal 'loose ends' had been tied up.

We paid on a 'as you go' basis so we were never in arrears.
