When I look to what my lawyer did when I bought my place how would he even know home values in Calgary as he doesnt even live in this area code.

Everything was couriered and I drove up to sign the final papers in person. Is it his responsibility to tell me that I am overpaying for my home?

And I thought PC Financial was sketch to deal with.
Usually, a lawyer is representing the purchasers and the lender at the same time, and has a duty to both parties. There are certain "red flags" the lenders ask that we watch for. The lender is also the lawyer's client.
