    I have this posted in legal but a bit more traffic here.

    Hi,
    I am in the process of a house purchase that has been dragging on since January.
    We were not advised when we approached our solicitor that they only work part time.

    It is a practice and others do not cover in her absence. Things only seem to happen on the days she is there and remain stalemate when not.

    Should this have been disclosed at the beginning of the process? I only found out after a month or so.

    Thank you

    I would move solicitor or tell her get herself together and get moving. The more it drags on, the more she'll get for expenses out of you.

    I considered moving but feel it would just delay things further. Lesson learned.

    I wonder though, should they inform clients of this prior to signing up with them.

    Thanks for the reply. I emailed the practice owner as getting close to the end of the mortgage approval and he has assured us that he will keep things going in her absence.
