As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Harold Hill what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Harold Hill
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Harold Hill or throughout London is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Harold Hill is a critical decision 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 may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
