Am I right to be concerned that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Hampton Hill conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often input from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may suggest solicitors to choose. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
