Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Caernarfon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
