As someone not used to the Wolstanton conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Wolstanton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wolstanton or throughout Staffordshire is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, property agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wolstanton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
