I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Treuddyn or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, property agent and sometimes your bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Treuddyn should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
