For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Hatch End should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
