As someone not used to conveyancing in Barnard Castle what’s your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Barnard Castle

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Barnard Castle and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Barnard Castle is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
