I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my let out property in Wilmslow by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

As someone not used to the Wilmslow conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Wilmslow

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Wilmslow or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wilmslow should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate 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 solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
