Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Langstone and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Langstone is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
