Developers have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've received a quote from them. They are almost £300 cheaper than my preferred West Ham conveyancer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street West Ham solicitor.
