Is it best to go with a Aintree conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the legal work but they are based 400kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Aintree conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar Aintree conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
