Most countries will still let their own Nationals in, even if they do have to self isolate in gov approved facilities.

I’m not sure where the buyer is going but it is according to EA work related. He and his girlfriend are FTB so not worried about stamp duty deadline. My purchase is empty house so not long chain.
The solicitors are based in Cardiff and I’m in Reading, the solicitors have been fairly slow especially at the beginning where they lost my property information pack but eventually found it in admin. They also lost the sellers solicitor contract pack so wasted around month until the sellers solicitor sent replacement. They have everything has all the mortgage offers and searches are in. Awful service with emails ignored I was going to change them buy had already paid £360 for their initial costs plus searches.
The only thing left is the sellers enquires to review. Surely it would be done before the stamp duty deadline.

so you choose cheap and are now moaning about cheap service?

I didn’t choose the cheapest but mid range, total cost £1680. 
Yes it was a mistake I should have gone with local expensive one but I’m stuck so fingers crossed and hopefully they get their fingers out and get it done before stamp duty deadline.
its probably less than 2 hours work left just review enquires. I won’t name them but will not recommend them.

I'm not sure speed of service is directly related to the size of the fees. Has anyone got any data to prove it?

It's the squeeky wheel that get's the oil. Keep pressing them!
