As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest solicitors to instruct. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
