You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Oakdale and elsewhere in Caerphilly is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Oakdale is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that you should follow their advice.

You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to use a Oakdale based conveyancing firm?

Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Oakdale.
