This review is for a different branch.
When our estate agents recommended Shoosmiths (Northampton branch) we thought ok why not seemed reasonably priced and our buyers were also with Shoosmiths, so it would be a quick process. From the start in Sept 2022 it took Shoosmiths 3-4 weeks to make contact with us, only after we got fed up waiting and we informed our Estate Agents and the seller's Estate Agents we were switching to another solicitor as we haven't heard anything from Shoosmiths. The sellers agents intervened on our behalf to get them to call us and send the legal documents. From then on all was going well until it wasn't - all our documents were uploaded to there website, we have a mortgage in place which is due to expire in the next couple of months. All of the legal searches and paperwork between by our seller's and buyers solicitors have been completed. Still the contracts have not been exchanged or given a completion date.
I emailed our solicitors yesterday to see how long do we have to wait before they exchange contracts and give us a completion date - there response "where is our source of funds coming from" quite clearly I was furious to say the least and lost my temper with them - I have literally given up. I can't see us moving anytime soon if ever.
