But the short answer is that it is a high pressure, high volume job and they don't have time for unnecessary calls / emails.

One thing you can do is ask them for estimates on when they expect to next be in contact / to need anything further from you .

But generally, they will be in contact when there is something they need or something concrete to update you about. 

Thanks for this context setting, I had a feeling that this is roughly the case and I'll bear in mind the tip about estimates of when the next intend to be in contact.

They might be really busy but what is their reviews like.

If they are one of the ones with like 1/2/3 star, then maybe better switching to a better conveyancing company in the early stage.

If you are not too bothered then perhaps just have to keep on top of it and a lot of chasing. 

The conveyancer I'm using actually does have a pretty strong rating above 4.5. I'm going to put it down to load and stay patient.

Better staying because if you were to move might find the same issue.

The conveyancers are really busy due to increase in re-mortgages at present also.
