I have investigated the firm and there are many negative reviews

OK yes I didn't initially realise that included stamp duty. I want to go with someone who offers a no move no fee and would prefer not to go with a solicitor involved with the estate agent.

Fair enough, take G_Ms advice then, speak to a few different firms local to you and see what they offer you. However, don't expect to be able to walk in off the street without an appointment and be able to speak to the actual solicitor in person. Anyone decent will be too busy to drop what they're doing and talk to you. It is quite likely they will have 100 or so cases on the go at any one time and will have enough demands on their time already.

There is a big difference between a solicitor being part of the same company as the EA, or strongly affiliated to, and a recommendation from an EA to a local firm of solicitors.

The former should be avoided at all costs, the latter is worth investigating.

Good point, although I have never been recommended a local firm by an EA they all seem to have their own conveyancing factory affiliations (or the ones I have dealt with have anyway)

we are using bespoke property lawyers. so far no issues but still early days in the process.

Don't expect them to be freely available when you call. Time costs money.
