Developers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my own East Twickenham lawyer. What's the catch?

Housebuilders frequently have lists of lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an incentive to select a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should keep with your local East Twickenham solicitor.
