Developers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £300 less expensive than my family Capel Curig lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders frequently have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to select their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Capel Curig solicitor.
