Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Hinton St George who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Barnsley Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you are willing to spend time comparing quotes you might shave off some of the cost by say £100 plus VAT.
