IfI were to acquire a straightforward housein Malvern for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Malvern?

What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Malvern?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Malvern and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Malvern is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
