As a novice what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Rochdale?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Rochdale and elsewhere in Greater Manchester is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Rochdale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
