New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 cheaper than my local Holton le Clay lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers frequently have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and conveyancer. As many developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Holton le Clay lawyer.
