Currently trying to buy a house and it's a nightmare, solicitors putting in minimal effort and getting things wrong, then taking forever to fix things. Any time I mention this to someone it seems they have a similar story.

Buying, selling and renting a property in this country is a nightmare. The legal and regulatory foundations of the system are messy and various ‘service’ providers extract as much money as they can out of the participants along the way. Most of the lawyers who are part of the system are no different, but the problems are much deeper than dodgy conveyancers.
