My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Broadstairs and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated.

Developers have put forward a property lawyer and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's almost £300 less expensive than my own Broadstairs lawyer. Should I use them?

Developers frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended property lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Broadstairs solicitor.
