What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Southwick?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Southwick or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Southwick is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
