As someone unfamiliar with the Stoke Park conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Stoke Park

In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the bank.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
