As a FTB what is the most important number one tip you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Flint?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Flint or throughout Flintshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Flint should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor above the other parties in the home moving process.
