Developers have recommended to me a lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's nearly £300 less expensive than my local Walton Le Dale property lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost 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. The argument for not opting for the recommended property lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Walton Le Dale property lawyer.
