Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Exmouth conveyancing searches.

As a novice what is the most important advice you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Exmouth?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Exmouth or throughout Devon is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Exmouth is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate 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 take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
