Am I right to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Chard conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest solicitors to choose. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders have an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
