Am I right to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Finsbury conveyancing company?

As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that some banks operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
