You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Dinnington or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Dinnington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Dinnington to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?

We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
