Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's almost £300 less expensive than my preferred Melbourn conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Melbourn conveyancer.
