Housebuilders often have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancer is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Barton under Needwood solicitor.
