‘Recruiting skilled staff is extremely difficult,’ because:

1. The pay is poor.
2. The responsibility and stress factor is considerable.
3. A high percentage of residential conveyancing is undertaken by cheap labour in the form of unqualified personnel who often don't know what they are doing.
4. No matter how well qualified and knowledgeable you are, you will get knowhere if the other side are incompetent - and/or you are unable to pigeonhole - everything!!!
It takes two to tango in the world of conveyancing.
5. The CQS is a joke.
6. No matter how good a conveyancer you are, your client will hate you unless you can complete the transaction quickly, cheaply and efficiently. The incompetence of the other side will probably cut no ice at all with the client.
7. Lenders and their panels and their employees are nearly always impossible to deal with. They are also largely ignorant, particularly in the area of property law, rude and extraordinarily inefficient in every concievable way.

Small wonder then that - ‘Recruiting skilled staff is extremely difficult,’- Mr Smithers!!!!!!!
