Should I be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Hale conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend lawyers to instruct. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of banks have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
