What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Westhoughton?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Westhoughton and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Westhoughton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
