Should I appoint a Dore conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located 400miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Dore conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
