Developers have put forward a solicitor and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 less expensive than my preferred Bryn Y Baal solicitor. Should I use them?
Builders normally have panels of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Bryn Y Baal property lawyer.
