Builders have recommended to me a property lawyer and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Kirk Ella lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the suggested solicitor is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Kirk Ella solicitor.
