Online conveyancing

Apologies if this has been asked before, I'm fairly new to the board.

My girlfriend is in the process of buying a property and I am searching around for conveyancing for her.

There is quite a difference in cost between local firms and online conveyancing.

Has anyone here got experience of online conveyancing? Are they worth using? Are they any I should avoid or go for?

thanks in advance!

    You're much better off with a local firm!

    Have a look on www.solicitorsfromhell.co.uk to see which to avoid but the best advice would be for your girlfriend to use someone with a good repuatation in the local area, ask around for recommendations.

    Property purchase throws up all sorts of issues. Being able to go in and discuss matters face to face is worth the extra cost.
