Should I be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Calstock conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your home move.
