As someone not used to conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Sowerby Bridge
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, property agent and on occasion your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
