As someone not used to the Harmondsworth conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the home moving process in Harmondsworth
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Harmondsworth and elsewhere in West London is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes your bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Harmondsworth should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
