    Not even remotely close to likely. They simply don't care and will have totally switched off for the weekend.

    There are many different companies which are closed at the weekend.  Not sure why you think that means they don't care.

    I would say no they don't, best to check their website. I know that they are working later in the week but i doubt they work weekends.

     Neither of those answers are relevant to the OP's question...

    Oh, whoops. I assumed as teachfast was responding that it was about conveyancers being awful again.

    And especially conveyancing solicitors. Even their peers in the profession mock them.
