    The Conveyancing side of getting a house is by far the most stresful part of the process so I highly advise you use a conveyancer who is local, has a good reputation and who will respond quickly.

    Whilst the free conveyancing sure looks attractive, it could be the difference between moving into your house in a couple months, and moving into your house in 6 months.
    I don't buy that. The amount of threads I see on here regarding knuckle dragging local conveyancers puts me right off.

    We have gone through quite a large reputable firm, but I have had a single handler for the whole process, everything has been done over email and/or phone with post to send stuff back and it has been very professionally handled.
