You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Farnham Common and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and on occasion the mortgage company.
