I am a little bit worried, have requested services of a conveyancer in cornwall, have since heard that they may be slow and will need pushing, I am buying a house off a friend and his Solictor seems really fast, he had draft contract within days of engaging his solictor. My friends seller is pushing to complete really quickly, am worried that once my friends mortgage offer comes through thay will all be pushing and I will lose my house. My friend as gone from saying no matter what happens I will sell to to you , to saying that it would not be in his interest to put house on open market. I have morgage offer and deposit and have no property to sell.
Do I arrange to see conveyancer, or move elsewhere have paid for searches

I'd speak to the conveyancer and find out what they have to say for themselves. Lay it on the line. You may have to treat the paid for searches as a sunk cost and find a speedier service provider rather than risk losing it all.
