Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Irby who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Aldermore. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are content to spend time comparing charges you might shave off some of the cost by say £125. That being said, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm gave you mightcome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to check the conveyancer can represent Aldermore.

The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Irby conveyancing specialists.
