As someone not used to the Falmouth conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Falmouth

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Falmouth and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Falmouth is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Falmouth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
