Developers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are nearly three hundred pounds less expensive than my local Towcester solicitor. What's the catch?
Developers frequently have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Towcester conveyancer.
