As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be very helpful. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to use. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement.
