Should I be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Kimbolton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to use. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Cardiff but I am based in Kimbolton.
