As someone not used to conveyancing in Wool what is your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Wool

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wool and elsewhere in Dorset is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wool is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
