Someone else can be power of attorney - but assuming that the solicitor is also the person making the application (as well as being their power of attorney) you would also need someone to start the application again. But yes, it can be done.
5 months does sound like the process wasn't started at the time of purchase agreement - I know of several that were sold less than 5 months ago and the process was completed weeks ago. However, if they start from scratch now, it will take 2-3 months from now, whereas there is always the possibility that the original paperwork might be completed tomorrow or next week (or next year).

Hi Lance, they should ask their lawyer for the Application Ref Number of the MC. Then they/you can check when/if it was applied for or, you may find it sat there waiting to be collected. If your friends want to give their POA to someone else, they should cancel the exisiting POA or it could still be used by the holder.
It's better to have an expiry date included on the POA or they will need to cancel it again when their purchase is complete, to be on the safe-side. It's also easier if the lawyer speaks competent English.
