PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

    Conveyancing has become very competitive on cost. Firms have to cut prices to undercut their competition in order to get work. They take on more than they should and load their people with more than they can handle. The person dealing with your property may well be juggling another 20 or 30 at the same time. Once you are 4 months in to the process it's probably not worth changing conveyancer. I had one leasehold sale that took 7 months, hopefully yours will complete very soon. Good luck.

    It’s weird that they take on so many jobs and then provide an inadequate service. If I’m asked to recommend them when everything is over there is no way I could in good faith give them a good review. The level of communication is just so poor.
