Are there any compelling benefits to using a high street conveyancing practitioner in Littleover

Many buyers and sellers in Littleover choose a local conveyancing practitioner so that they can attend the lawyer’s offices if they have concerns, and to collect paperwork rather than relying on the Royal Mail.

There is a marginal edge in using a solicitor nearby to the property you are buying, due to the knowledge of the locality and possible local concerns - but this is debatable. Most conveyancers carry out their communications via the internet and could be anywhere in the world.
