100% this.
We had a good broker recommended by a mate. We went with their solicitor reco assuming that they'd be able to apply pressure to ensure they got their commission.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Only ever go with a solicitor you know or who a reliable mate has actually said, "yeah they were really good actually".
So stressful having a shit solicitor.

Staying on topic: if any company - broker / estate agent / bank - recommends a solicitor to you, be very, very suspicious. The will be being paid to make that recommendation.
