Developers have put forward a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. They are almost £300 cheaper than my preferred South Hornchurch solicitor. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street South Hornchurch lawyer.
