You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Patcham or throughout East Sussex is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Patcham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
