  • Phone your lawyer, they should be able to talk you through it. If they can't then sack them and get a decent one.

  • maybe I should just be a little patient?

    You’re right to be cautious and questioning, solicitors can miss things, but I’d say yes- be patient. Wait until you have the report through, read it carefully and make a list of anything that’s not in there. It may [should] be that your solicitor is just as thorough as you are and will have already sought clarification on everything.

    They will also tell you when it’s sensible to accept ‘don’t know’ as an answer, there are usually a few ‘don’t knows’ on properties - boundary ownership, when extensions were built, whether there’s any asbestos, all sorts - you’ll usually have to accept a ‘don’t know’ or two or take out an insurance policy of some sort to cover what might happen if a ‘don’t know’ becomes a problem.
