Housebuilders frequently have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use 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 case you should remain with your local Milnthorpe property lawyer.
