As someone not used to the Hainault conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Hainault
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hainault and elsewhere in North East London is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Hainault should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
