As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Winkleigh?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Winkleigh and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience.

Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
