What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Tulse Hill?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Tulse Hill or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes a bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Tulse Hill should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
