Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've obtained a quote from them. They are nearly £250 less expensive than my preferred Bermondsey property lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers often have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your local Bermondsey solicitor.
