I remember doing my will and concluding that it was money for old rope (and likely one of the first bits of business AI will take from them) but I got a different solicitor for buying a house and she was great.

It was a complete nightmare of a process that I am still recovering from - had 4 offers accepted and had to walk away from the first 3 because they all needed extensive building work. However, she was on point all the way through and didn’t even starting the searches on property number 3 as so many houses in the vicinity needed work (and boy did that one!). So she saved me a few quid when I suspect most lawyers would have just pulled the trigger in them for a cheap pay day
