What has she actually said? Maybe you're misinterpreting things. Is everybody ready to exchange now (and agreed a completion date)?

Thanks - Its only me and the seller in the chain and the seller and I have agreed a completion date between ourselves and just need the solicitors to finalise it. 

Solicitors will work towards propsed dates. They cannot guarantee them though. 

There is no reason they cant guarantee it, if they actually do what they are paid for. Every single thing is done. They just need to exchange the contracts. 

Kind of feel like this too!!!

Is it standard to do these separately with time in between?

 With a preference for Fridays so that theres the weekend to settle in. 

I would recommend avoiding completion on a Friday, if anything goes wrong then you have a couple of days where you are helpless.

We are getting there now. Exchange is going to be later than planned due to many internal processes but looks to be next week.

Yeah right. Does someone tell you how to do your job even though they've no idea what's involved ? As I doubt it. 

All the time, and every customer facing professional will have similar experiences. Think your doctor has never had a patient demand an inappropriate treatment based on their Google results?

It's part of the job to talk people through the process and translate industry specific language into plain English. Just like you want your doctor to explain your diagnosis.

And how many times has a Dr been wrong and said patient was correct in their diagnosis? People are not infallible - either they explain what is going on or they will be thought of as stalling or doing nothing.
