However long you think that it should take, double it, add three weeks and hope for the best.
Solicitors are laws upon themselves when it comes to conveyancing - its as if they are on an hourly rate and try to drag it out for as long as they can. One would think that as most are on a fixed price, it would be better to get it finished as soon as they can.
Mind you, our solicitor, we used them in 2004 for a first house (with no issues, but again, as FTB's probably in not so much a rush) and then again last year. I kid you not, the office hasn't changed - the computer in use looks like its the same one from 2004, everything seems to be done via paper/letter/fax rather than by email. When they wanted to query something simple with us, they sent a letter - for goodness sake, send an email or pick up the dam phone!
Frustrated much.... oh no.... not me...... honest....
You're just picking the wrong solicitors. The one Sarnie put me in touch with have been great and are on the ball, much like him (Liam is well worth his fee and id recommend him to anyone).Solicitors are laws upon themselves when it comes to conveyancing - its as if they are on an hourly rate and try to drag it out for as long as they can.
