Fuck me solicitors charges are a joke. I hope I never have to fight anything in court.

Standard charges are Between 700-1k for their fees for a decent lawyer, 500 quid if you use an online one. For that they are dealing with a transaction which can be hideously complicated, especially if a flat, not only acting for you but for your lender if you have one, and risking getting sued if they get it wrong..

I don't think the solicitors charges for conveyancing are expensive at all to be honest.

Agreed. Compared to agents and stamp duty the solicitor is great value.

Having read what you're prepared to pay for home improvements I think it's safe to say our definitions of expensive are fairly different! Which is fine, I realise I'm a northern cheapskate.
