Is it not unusual for the police to just turn up to search a property with warrant in hand unless there had been some good intelligence, though i may watch too much tele, oh and the belonging is their, the place is there. tell them not to change their solicitor but they could use the money earned from renting the other house out to pay the legal expenses

This is what I think happened.
A Chinese landlord who can not speak English very well has several properties that he rents out. One of the properties has tenants who are drug dealing.
The police arrive at the landlords house and search it for drugs , the police remove the landlords cash, computer and bank statements . They also arrest the landlord and after taking him to the police station and charging him , he is released on bail. Due to his poor English the landlord does not know what he is charged with. Since this happened the police keep coming to the landlords house and one time there were 10 police cars involved.
They have just got a solicitor who is going to write to the landlord 'soon'
The questioner is asking if the correct thing to do would be to get a diffrent solicitor urgently.
I have to say YES get another solicitor as soon as possible. Try to find one who speaks Chinese of get an interpreter as well !
