Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Manor Park who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate fees seem a tad high. If you you were to look around you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125. That being said, assuming were content with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to check the solicitor can also act for Lloyds TSB Bank.
