Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Lunt and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Lunt is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

Every so often a potential adversary may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
