Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Barclays . I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The costs illustration is slightly on the steep side. If you are content to invest time scrutinising charges you could trim some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were content with the assistance the firm gave you maylive to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to ensure the solicitor can act for Barclays .
