For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Ripponden is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell 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.
