As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Callerton what is your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Callerton
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Callerton and elsewhere in Tyne And Wear is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Callerton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Callerton conveyancing specialists.
