New build sellers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my local Manningtree conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Developers normally have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they require an exchange in 28 days. A counter-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 situation you should stick with your local Manningtree property lawyer.
