You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Shillington and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
