Developers normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange in 28 days.
