Am I right to be wary about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Mudeford conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to instruct. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
