Developers have put forward a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my family Lytham solicitor. Should I use them?
Builders often have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the builder's paperwork and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Lytham conveyancing practitioner.
