These investigations involves seeking information from various different parties, including other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, lenders. Many of these are efficient. Plenty aren't. And remember, it doesn't matter how quickly your solicitor do their job, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are up to speed.
