Totally agree, but in defence of conveyancing solicitors, some of it is stuff they can't control, like the Land Registry demanding them. The LR generally being slow and archaic. For example: they have introduced some new forms (ID3 and ID5) so that people can verify ID for title deed purposes via video call, but they still have to be signed with a wet signature, which totally defeats the point!

The “wet ink” thing is so dumb. I’ve said this before but you can do multi billion pound m&a deals without “wet ink” signatures so I have no idea why it is still required in resi land. As well as faxes etc
