As someone unfamiliar with the Godstone conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Godstone
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Godstone or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Godstone should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players in the home moving process.
My Solicitor in Godstone is not listed on the The Mortgage Works Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Mortgage Works list of approved lawyers?

- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are The Mortgage Works approved.
- Persuade your The Mortgage Works based solicitor to seek to join the The Mortgage Works panel
