Housebuilders frequently have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your local Blyth lawyer.
