As a FTB what is the most important advice you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Dalton in Furness?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Dalton in Furness and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Dalton in Furness is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
