From experience, going through a house sale, use a good, reputable solicitor who is in your area and can take on conveyancing. Make sure you can have a No Sale, No fee deal. Some Solicitors offer this as extra price and a good insurance in case buyers pull out.  Ask someone who has recently sold property in your area.

It get a recommendation here on moneysavingexpert is probably not the best place to ask. You could ask the local community, check reviews beyond the 'good' reviews.

There are hundreds of conveyancing organisations, they act like a call centre and have inexperienced staff who are terrible with communication.

These conveyancer websites grab your attention with low prices, a supposed clear instant quotation.

Once they have got you, they cause more stress by lack of inactivity, have a switchboard who cannot help, cannot get through, no response .

Where in Yorkshire are you? I'd suggest finding one that's close by, a short drive if possible. If you need to get things to them quickly it really helps. 
We are based in Leeds and use Brearleys who have been good, they don't do no sale no fee, as suggested by others, but their fees are reasonable and our solicitor has been brilliant, we normally don't wait longer than an hour for a reply from her. She sends everything to us as soon as she receives it (we can see by the time stamps in emails).

Can't echo this any more from my own personal experience.
