Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter or throughout Buckinghamshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that you should follow their advice.

You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

A small minority of properties in Chalfont St Peter do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
