As someone not used to the Greenfield conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Greenfield
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Greenfield and elsewhere in Flintshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Greenfield 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 keep you safe.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your lawyer above all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
