You will need to appoint a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order.

Builders have recommended to me a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my preferred Chalk Farm conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?

Builders frequently have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Chalk Farm lawyer.
