Lol - the solicitor I use is a family friend and is very efficient - can't guarantee the other sides lawyer tho - the last time they were pernickity
When we sold my father’s house they made several oversights holding things up.
We came to the conclusion that, like accountants, they were using junior/part qualified people to rough things out ready for a senior stamp of approval.
Simple things fell through the cracks and the juniors parked things half done waiting for the boss to tick the work.
At least that’s what it seemed like.
For example, the purchaser was wanting to sign……the solicitor told me they were “waiting for the purchaser to sign”.
When I spoke to the unaware purchaser, he dragged his wife out of her sick bed and drove to the solicitors office to sign.
Proactivity and sense or urgency seem lacking when there’s a meter running.
