A YouGov survey of 1,959 people who had bought a house in the last 2 years has reported that 30% of those interviewed said that they would not trust a big brand with their conveyancing, while 25% believed the brand would outsource it to a law firm anyway.
The survey also found that a further 19% agreed that they would not want to buy legal services where they bought their groceries and this was particularly so when women were questioned.
People interviewed also expressed a desire to use someone local and this was the biggest factor at 29% ,followed by using a family solicitor at 24%, Estate agent recommendation at 23% and recommendation from family and friends at 21%.
