What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Swiss Cottage?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Swiss Cottage and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Swiss Cottage should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
