As someone not used to the Marple conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the house moving process in Marple

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Marple or throughout Greater Manchester is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Marple should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a worrying creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
