Developers have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my own Brownhills lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers often have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancer. As many developers offer an incentive to use a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested property lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Brownhills conveyancer.
