Conveyancing firms are specialists and set up to be cheap. They use staff whose goal is to tick boxes as quickly as possible.
I nearly used one some years ago when buying a buy to let. The selling agent didn't tell me the lease precluded letting. The conveyancing firm didn't bother to mention it. Only because I read the lease thoroughly did I get alerted to the problem.
I would be disinclined even to consider using them in the future - paying a few hundred ££ to get the job done properly seems a good deal when 6/7 figures are at stake.
