Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Loughborough or throughout Leicestershire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Loughborough should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that you should follow their advice.

Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Loughborough with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
