Conveyancing - L&C has given me a quote for a solicitor along with my decision in principle. Wondering if I should do my own research shopping around etc which seems sensible to me - but the ease of having someone that the broker has worked with to make things smoother. Wondering if anyone has used them or had a similar broker/solicitor relationship. Aware solicitor in Scotland plays a slightly more prominent role so very keen not to balls up.
Arranging viewings: we are looking to head up for a few days and check out areas and view properties. What is the process for this? Not dealt with an EA since we rented out flat in 2014 but assume just call each one up and try and get to view properties at times across the days, with time left between to drive? Or is there a more efficient prudent way?
The entire chain is about referrals - every business involved in buying and selling property will pay for the opportunity of new business. As a rough calc they will accept 10-20% CoS so this is what you should be negotiating if you go straight to the provider.
More potentially stupid questions:
