What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Adlington

A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

Developers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my local Adlington property lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Adlington conveyancing practitioner.
