My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on our first house in Burwash, and need to get solicitors appointed. I have used the different rating based websites and the results are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Burwash solicitor local to our potential house? I am happy to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the conveyancer's office to sign papers?
The solicitor does not need to be in Burwash, but choosing local means that you have the option to visit their offices if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Burwash solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local solicitor) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
