Am I better off to appoint a Prestwich conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities but they are based over three hundred miles away.

They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job.
