If there is a mortgage you will be having a valuation and the lender
will require a solicitor to protect their interests - so you might as
well make sure it is a solicitor of your choosing rather than theirs.
Would it be cheaper to have the same solicitor for the buying and
selling of this
family house ? There is adverserial situation as it is family.
I guess a solicitor might not be required for the selling itself.
