Builders frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight time frame.
