Did you know that all Conveyancing Solicitors are bound by the profession’s code of conduct?
This requires that your Conveyancer must act with integrity and NOT bring the profession into disrepute.
You can be assured that your Conveyancing Solicitor will always act in your best interest and that they are there to protect you. Although they also have a duty to the mortgage lender and cannot misrepresent matters.
Your Solicitor, and their firm, face serious consequences for breaching the code. It is not worth their career and/or practice, so they will not risk it.
The code of conduct ensures honesty and that your Solicitor puts your interests first. That is why they are involved.
Bear in mind that they may not be able to tell you what you want to hear. They get a bad rep for being the bearer of bad news.
There are other concerns for your Solicitor. They are heavily regulated and must comply or face sanctions by their regulatory body.
Although heavily regulated they are not public servants and they do not have to take your matter on. If they do, but a conflict arises, they are able to disinstruct and sometimes they have no choice.
