Developers normally have lists of lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they want exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant 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 local Burton Joyce conveyancing practitioner.
