You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wealdstone and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Wealdstone is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Wealdstone
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Wealdstone conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
