As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward solicitors to retain. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
