From my experience most solicitors won’t take anything from others, especially ones that seem useless. The searches are and management pack are likely the only transferrable pieces.
I spoke to quite a few solicitors on my search for a new one last week and 3/5 outright wouldnt take any cases that involved a leasehold if the SD deadline was the target.

Getting incredibly fed up with our solicitor, who's handling the sale of our Shared Ownership flat and purchase of another place. Impossible to get in contact with anyone by email or phone, and on the rare occasions we do speak to them, it's normally just for them to tell us the likes of "oh I don't know about that. Maybe you could ask the vendor directly?"
We're already quite far along in the process. Is it possible/advisable to change solicitor at this point? We're obviously working towards the stamp duty deadline in March so even if it was to cost us a bit more money now, if it saved us ~£15k by meaning we actually complete on time then I wouldn't care. I just don't know if changing solicitor would delay the transaction even more, or add in other complications?
