Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
