On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
