As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward solicitors to select. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
