conveyancing solicitors, name and shame and how do I complain

freelance_3

We are currently in the process of buying a house and our conveyancer is useless

They have been utterly incompetent and have given us false information and delayed our move week in week out. Our mortgage advisor has taken over trying to tackle them as the stress is unbearable

Too much detail to go into here, but does anyone know how I can make a complaint about the solicitor? Is there a governing body for solicitors?

I have found them listed on https://www.solicitorsfromhell.co.uk, which doesn't bode well

When we bought the house, Halifax, the estate agent dealing with the sale, put us in touch with this solicitor. It was the biggest mistake we ever made. Is it worth complaining to Halifax?

I don't want to complain officially until we complete as we have been told that if you make a fuss, solicitors put you to the bottom of the pile and delay things even further.

The Law Society is the governing body for solicitors in England and Wales.

Were I you I would quickly delete the name and area of the solicitors from my post.

I will say no more than that.

I have taken their name out of my post, but why have you told me too?

this website is full of people critising companies
