Should I choose a Sheldon conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can perform the conveyancing however her office is over three hundred kilometers away.

They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Sheldon conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
