Hi All, looking for some advice on the above website. My mortgage broker is offering a deal where they subsidise the cost of conveyancing. The solicitor appointed appears on the "Wall of Shame" on Ratemysolicitor.com.

I've just gone sale agreed at a good price (I was not the highest bidder - or so I was told) on the basis that I would be able to move quickly on the deal.

On the basis of that website I'd be straight back on to the mortgage broker to appoint a different solicitor though I couldn't discount the fact that many of the comments appeared to be personal grievances.

Bottom line, is the site accurate?

"Bottom line, is the site accurate?"

On the basis of some of the comments on that site, I suspect not. But would you not prefer to use a solicitor recommended to you by someone you trust? It is by far the best way to choose a solicitor.

I can guess the broker and the solicitor in question. I am also going through the broker and solicitor firm in question. In my case I am dealing not with the guy mentioned on the site, but one of his partners. I have found her to be excellent so far, she always answers queries quickly, gives good advice and carries out instructions accurately.

Er, isn't this a duplicate thread?
