PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

People do exchange and complete on the same day!
Complain to the head of the solicitor firm now, they may get onto the case. Also tell the EA you've had a bad experience and they could well stop recommending them.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I agree with Silvercar - Not all Solicitors are the same.
Get the agents on the case - they need to do some work as well.
Your client care letter is legally required to provide you with the person you should speak to if you have problems, usually this is the supervising partner of the firm. Look at the letters you received at the start to find this information.0
