As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Cherry Burton?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Cherry Burton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion the bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Cherry Burton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these conditions.
