Then I wish they'd look closely at the one the vendor of the house I'm trying to buy was using, fortunately the vendor sacked the solicitor last week. The solicitor's already been fined £15K (with a further £15K costs) by a disciplinary tribunal. He's apparently done nothing for four months. My solicitors sent emails with read receipts that haven't been acknowledged, let alone replied to. It's alleged he doesn't read emails, but his secretary prints them off for him to read. I've also heard his working hours are 10:00 - 12:00 and 14:00 - 16:00. I can't make an official complaint about him, it would seem only the vendor, or another solicitor can.
