Currently trying to buy a house and it's a nightmare, solicitors putting in minimal effort and getting things wrong, then taking forever to fix things. Any time I mention this to someone it seems they have a similar story.

Our conveyancer was amazing, there were various issues particularly on the day of exchange & completion (including our mortgage company sending the wrong amount of money). Our conveyancer logged on from home on his day off and worked all day to get us over the line (exchanged and completed simultaneously at 5pm).

Wow, that's what I wish I had. Our exchange had been delayed by over a week and I have to chase them up every single day for a status update.
