What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Conwy?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Conwy and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Conwy should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a worrying increase of a "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties in the home moving process.
