Solicitors you would recommend for conveyancing? Megathread NO QUOTES

A word of advice... certain mortgage lenders don't like it if you use small solicitors practices with one partner (as a very local solicitor named above is). The practive contracts out some of the work to get past this loophole to another city firm! So they're not necessarily paying all their attention to your matter!

 

Also, I'd like to point out that you reallly do get what you pay for with conveyancing solicitors. My pal has had to call Haybrooks to find out information on his purchase! They were the ones who told him that the sellers had sent to contracts to his solicitors. Small practice named above denied they had them. Poor pal had to make an appointment to see them for progress to get their shop for them to say 'I can't advise you, I'm not a solicitor."

You do not know what you are talking about looby hitch. The work is not contracted out to other solicitors all that happens is the drawing down of mortgage funds from the firm which if anything means that more attention can be paid to that particular matter!!

 

Also quite rightly, if the person was not a solicitor they could not advise as one as that would be bad practice.

Nooooooooo, don't recomend Toefields at all, bad experiance, they held our chain up for weeks, they don't like talking to other solicitors in the chain.

Being the first time buyers solicitor they tried to blame the other solicitors for holding the chain up, but what the didn't know - we were all talking to each other and knew the truth. . . . :(
