Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Walthamstow Village should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
