As someone not used to conveyancing in Horsham what’s the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Horsham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Horsham and elsewhere in West Sussex is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Horsham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
