Online conveyancing recommendations/avoids?

[AspectArea]

All threads here are quite old when searching!

I'm based in the UK but rurally and have a preference to use an online legal service. I've inherited a tenant in common house (freehold) in England with a sibling. Probate granted. Simple 50/50 beneficiaries split. No mortgage.

Sibling wants to buy me out of the house so is getting it valued and we've agreed to go with the average of the 3.

I think I'll need a lawyer to represent me in the sale (I'd do the tr1 etc forms myself but I think because sibling needs a mortgage we'll need lawyers).

Don't need affiliated services like dispersion of cap gains advice, I know how to declare and will sort myself.

Any recommendations of online conveyancing services to avoid or go for based on recent experience..?

I'm not keen to use a local firm who pays for buildings who I also have to trek miles to see, my experience of their modern ways of working has been so poor (formal emails going days and days unread, new grads just being dumped with work so you're paying a high traditional fee but they're no better skilled than another random name in a call centre!)

I'd happily consider using a traditional law firm if I could get a named conveyancing contact btw. I just don't want to repeat my experience of paying for fancy offices as the client where I meet a sales partner lawyer initially who then palms the doing off to an overwhelmed underlining!

I assume I would need my own lawyer and sibling needs their own too?

I used MUVE online conveyancing when I moved last year and found them really good.

Ask locally for recommendations of other local solicitors. I have bought, sold and remortgaged several times. Prices between on line and high street don't vary that much for conveyancing.
High street have varied from brilliant to average.
On line varies from adequate to down right disastrous - because we weren't local we didn't realise they were cheap for a reason and were shut down by the SRA half way through our sale - yes the case was transferred, but it really held things up.

I can't emphasize how rural we are.. the only legal firm within an hour's drive is the office one I wouldn't use again, our house sale was palmed off onto a massively overworked underling who didn't keep on top of things and went off sick for weeks. Their partner had to step in to rescue moving dates but they admitted they couldn't even access our legal files at one point. Total shambles

Hence I only have 1 local data point.. a bad un!

If I'd had more energy I'd have reported to the law society of Scotland but it was so traumatic I guess legal firms rely on people just not reporting

I'm buying at the moment and using MJP Conveyancing - all online with your own portal and half the price of the local solicitors the estate agent recommended. Absolutely no issues with them and very glad we chose to risk it!!!

Not really an answer to your question but we used a local conveyancer and only had to go to their office once (for the ID check). We are also very rural and solicitor was quite a drive away!

We were warned off online firms so many times, including viewing one house where the EA said the vendor would only accept offers on condition the buyer didn't use an online-only conveyancer.

thanks for the insights/name drops btw - appreciated!
