E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a lender.

Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
