Conveyancing Solicitors - Reading Area

[Wall05]

Hi All,

Fairly new to posting on PH but been reading posts and the site for a long time.

I have just moved down to Reading from Aberdeen with the Mrs - she relocated with work and I followed to a Job in London. We are looking to buy a house soon, but whereas I would have known where to go up north for a solicitor I am not sure who/which firm down here is recommended? Basically someone to carry out the legal side of purchasing a house.

Any advice who to avoid, or recommendations would be a big help!

Many thanks

Thanks all for the help, really appreciate it and will make some calls. Very new to the area and with no family nearby to ask for advice.

I would have spoken to a solicitor up north, but would prefer to have someone local who knows the area, and perhaps the vendor's solicitor too. Also, the buying/selling process is different in England than Scotland I understand.

Thanks for the nod on Romans - always dubious about "in house" etc!!

Thanks Badgerade - viewing a property tonight so if all goes well will give THP a ring.

Many thanks
