Hi everyone, sorry if this has been asked before. I’m helping my dad sell his house.
He has found a buyer who is a neighbour a few houses away. So no brokers involved.
My question is regarding getting a lawyer.
The neighbour suggested that my dad use his lawyer as well instead of getting our own. He said this will save my dad some money.
How true is this?

Does anyone have a comparison of the fees if my dad appoints his own lawyer vs uses the neighbour’s lawyer?
What are the pros and cons?
What are the things to look out for in the SPA if he does go with the same lawyer?

I don’t want my dad to be taken for a ride and I don’t have any experience selling properties as well so I’d appreciate some tips and advice regarding this.

Thank you in advance!
