As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Soho what is your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Soho

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Soho or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Soho should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a potential adversary will attempt to 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 claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

You can agree a lesser deposit. Most sellers will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
