What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Haddenham?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Haddenham or throughout Buckinghamshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Haddenham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
