Online/not local conveyancing?

Hello! As above really - has anyone used a conveyancer they found 'online' rather than someone local? If so how was the experience - good/bad? Thanks :D

    General consensus is it's not worth saving that money. Go with a local solicitor. You don't always get 1-to-1 help with online, and you don't know what level of qualifications they'll have who you'll be dealing with, and you may need to pop in/drop stuff off so it can be handy when they're local.

  • Thanks - I kind of figured this may be the case. My last purchase was all very straight forward but I guess it doesn't mean the next will be!
