Developers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly three hundred pounds cheaper than my local Wythenshawe property lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders frequently have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they need an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Wythenshawe property lawyer.
