Anthony C | When buying a house, can buyer and seller use the same solicitor? |
|
|


lou
|
when i bought my house i was told no |
|

confucious says
 |
no you cannot there is conflict of interest so anybody who says yes is wrong |
|

i.pilling
 |
no you can't...it's called conflict of interest..as much as it would make sense and be quicker..your solicitor has to be completely impartial...my advice would be to use a solicitor nearby..then the correspondence will be quicker.. |

It would be unethical of any solicitor to represent a seller and a buyer in the same transaction. How can he represent the best interests of both? |
|

In the UK it is not advisable or legal as it represents a conflict of interest.Other countries however do.We purchased a place in Cyprus and were advised to find an independant solicitor and were surprised when the seller turned up to complete the purchase with him.It was all very informal,efficient and quick,not all the long drawn out hassle you have over here!Would be much better to do that here,it would save weeks,money,and stress for both parties. |

It is within Law Society Rules that the same Solicitor cannot be used for both Clients. The buyer and seller must have separate solicitors. This is in the best interest of all involved with a completely impartial view on all aspects of the process. |

Lets get to the point so there are no mistakes,in this question there exits a conflict between the two primary interest(BUYER and SELLER) and ,the solicitor responsibilities who is in a position of trust. |

no, it would be classed as a 'conflict of interests'. best to use separate solicitors. |

i don't see why not, it should make the move quicker |

can't see why not, although you would probably have a different person representing you. I used a company called Homefast in my experience they were pretty good... |
