In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Earls Court is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
