Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

The benefit of a local Beverley conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate.

If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Beverley conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
