True, but at least you know where the fault is and can apply pressure accordingly, if both solicitors are shit then you are doomed specially if buying in sellers market / area in demand. We once had a shitty lawyer and teamed up with the seller and their lawyer to make sure we completed despite of his ineptitude. Again anything that empowers you in this 'the most expensive purchase' is gold
Other party could have a shit solicitor though. No guarantees in this game!
