Currently trying to buy a house and it’s a nightmare, solicitors putting in minimal effort and getting things wrong, then taking forever to fix things. Any time I mention this to someone it seems they have a similar story.

    Where I work I have a fair amount of contact with homeowners, and some looking to buy/sell.

    More often than not, the solicitor is chasing documentation in the last week before handover and they get really shitty about it. Despite having a very long time to have sorted the paperwork as its historical information they’re getting from me that will have been available for the whole process.

    Seems a case of “they can get away with it, so they will”. Cos every time it cocks up, the solicitor doesn’t seem to get the blame.
