Are Conveyancers slow?
The more experienced the Conveyancer that you use, the more able they are to instantly deal with any issues that arise rather than having to refer to their superior or even put the file to one side because they are out of their depth. Conveyancers can have a reputation for proceeding slowly, but often they only do this because their own clients tell them confidentially to go slow. Unfortunately the Conveyancer cannot then admit this to the rest of the chain or to the agents and so they look like the culprits. Do remember that Conveyancers are only paid at the end of the deal and so they more than anyone are interested in pushing things forward. However, for the reasons above they may be out of their depth of course. In addition Conveyancers are only able to proceed as quickly as the other parties involved in the chain and that includes those people’s Solicitors, mortgage brokers and of course everyone has their own personal situation and own timescales.
