As someone clueless as to the Totteridge conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Totteridge
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Totteridge and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Totteridge is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Totteridge and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
