Developers have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are nearly £250 cheaper than my family Morecambe property lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers frequently have panels of conveyancers who are quick and who know the builder's contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they need an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may prove hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Morecambe lawyer.
