It is not always the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever conveyancing practitioner you prefer for your Whissendine conveyancing. A lawyer recommended by an estate agent may not always be the right conveyancing practitioner, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
