Slow conveyancing Solicitor Help what legal steps do they do?

Ukraj

Hiya I am about top buya house and instructed my solicitor about 6 weeks ago.

Thisng are complicated in that the house we wnat to buy is currently had an extension done by a the vendor a builder and will be ready in two weeks.
I ahve had the mortage sorted out and agremment in principle etc.

Every time i ask my solictor i always get the reply that it is very unlilely that we can exchange contacts in the first week of july.

I nevere get a straight answer why?

Could someoen just eductae me and tell me what a conveyancing solicitor does?

One of them is searches and second liase with mortage company and the sellers solicitor?

If someone can give me a lst i can then chase my own solicitor up.

Many thanks

Who is the conveyancing firm?

i have sat with a solicitor many times to find this out myself and there can be a lot of complicated things to sort out. plus he is doing the same thing with anything up to 20 other people. other than searches etc which he has little control, there can be lots of points in deeds, leases which HAVE to be sorted out with the other party, which may be slow to answer. i myself have slagged off solicitors in the past, but not any more until i know the facts!
