Right to legal representation in a conveyancing transaction

It is certainly advisable not to save on legal fees by not appointing one

IDEALLY, each party to a conveyancing transaction should be represented by a solicitor and a solicitor should not represent more than one party in a conveyancing transaction.

However, sometimes one party may choose not to be represented by a solicitor and forgo his rights to engage a solicitor to represent him due to either not wanting to fork out legal fees or being unable to do so. Some may be unaware that they have the right to appoint their own solicitor to represent them.
