They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Alnmouth solicitor. Should I use them?
Housebuilders normally have lists of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your local Alnmouth lawyer.
