With so many people happily signing up to the conveyancing services (and mortgages) provided by some national brand estate agents, should we all be doing this? It must be really good right?

They recommend the best conveyancers don't they?

    Methinks he meant "No No No" to the thread, not to the methods you mentioned in your OP....

    has anyone got anything to say to help viewers, as goodness knows there are sooo many threads about bad experiences with such estate agents
