My previous solicitor has given a fee estimate £1700 for freehold conveyancing in Radford. I’m hoping to sell a purpose built house for £150,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Radford?

I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Radford with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
