Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Billericay conveyancing searches.
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Billericay?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Billericay or throughout Essex is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Billericay should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
