Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
