As with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be very helpful. Yet there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement.

Don't forget that some mortgage providers operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
