As long as there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific requirements on this. For example for Bradford & Bingley as of 15/5/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Your firm may only act if a separate fee earner or partner within the firm acts for us.
