Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Whitehaven should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance.
