Builders frequently have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested solicitor is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Chalfont St Peter property lawyer.
