Solicitors are generally bad cunts, no one recommends their solicitor it seems.
I used to, but she's retired. Which is a damn shame as she was brilliant.

I understand that the broker gets paid too and will look to maximise their commission
It seems to be seen as some sort of smoking gun that brokers get paid for referrals. They also get paid by the lender they put you with...
You have to believe that it's not in their interest to recommend a shit firm can't close deals.

This isn't true at all.
The folks that operate conveyancing factories are probably cunts, in that they create a system that doesn't really work for anyone. But they sell a cheap service. Pays your money, takes your choice. They are largely responsible for the race to the bottom.
It's likely the broker - who basically just found you a product and filled in some digital forms - got paid more than the solicitor, who actually tries to protect you from the madness. If they are doing their job, anyway.

It's still frustrating me that forum favourite Mike never got back to us after a really positive initial meeting (and also never replied to our follow-up email).
I have no doubt that his advice is great but I don't know why he won't let us find out for ourselves :(

I get that I paid for a service and the service was provided and I understand that the broker gets paid too and will look to maximise their commission. That said, Mike was invaluable throughout our home-buying process and our recent remortgage. He answered many worried questions from me and I see the worth of paying for his services.
