Q.

Do we need to opt for the lawyer that works with by my estate agent in City Of London?

A.

Agent recommendations are a common practice way to find a solicitor. These referrals must be carefully considered, as the agent may prefer to suggest the conveyancer who pays out the highest referral fee, not a firm with local expertise and a solid reputation.

We are intending to buy a barn conversion in Harrow on the Hill. Are we advised to get a chancel search?
