Tell her you will contact another Solicitor to investigate her, I did this with the one dealing with my Mothers estate. They were just prevaricating and seemed to think I would not do anything as I live 'abroad'.
I never had to go ahead as the lot was sorted out in my threatened 14 days.

It is about 6 weeks since I instructed solicitors for the conveyancing for my house move. I keep gently poking her on the email and have answered reams of questions, found lots of papers to answer questions and generally done a whole heap of work on it; and then I find out that yesterday - only yesterday! - she has sent of for searches for the place I am buying! It is driving me nuts!

The builder of the new-build that I am buying has just ring wanting to know what the heck is going on.

I just do not know whether to poke her a bit more pointedly; or whether to try and keep her onside by being gentle.

I feel like wringing her neck frankly!
