New build sellers have put forward a lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost £250 cheaper than my local Flint solicitor. Should I use them?
Housebuilders often have panels of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Flint lawyer.
