Housebuilders frequently have panels of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's documentation and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose their approved solicitor 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 conveyancing stall when they require an exchange inside a month.
