Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Bury who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Nationwide Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?
