Yet there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward lawyers to choose. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.
