There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Milton Keynes registration formalities.

I have been recommended by two or three local property agents in Milton Keynes to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than another?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
