Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Hingham and elsewhere in Norfolk is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Hingham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
