Developers often have panels of lawyers who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and conveyancer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Moston conveyancing practitioner.
