For example, the seller, property agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Woodford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
