Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Carbis Bay who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Aldermore. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

I own a freehold house in Carbis Bay yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Carbis Bay and has limited impact for conveyancing in Carbis Bay but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
