What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Golders Green?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Golders Green and elsewhere in North London is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Golders Green is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
