As someone unfamiliar with the Darton conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the house moving process in Darton
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Darton and elsewhere in South Yorkshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Darton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
