What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew and elsewhere in Norfolk is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
