Good luck with this. My word of advise from solicitors is be on their case from the start. Initially make sure you ask them to tell you every scrap of info they need from you and once they have that, hound them and the estate agents for updates.
Our purchase is dragging on purely because of lease queries going back and forward between solicitors. I have had to speak to the vendor and estate agent to get things moving because our solicitor only seems to send a letter to the other solicitor and wait for a reply.
Boom, mortgage offer received, and the valuation survey was fine. Now it's time for solicitors to solicit, hopefully all there is to do now is wait for them to fanny around.
