Builders normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the recommended property lawyer is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the situation you should keep with your local Dorchester On Thames solicitor.
