As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Warwickshire?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Warwickshire or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Warwickshire is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
