conveyancing...about £1000 isnt it?
Price of property isn't really relevant I thought.

Hard to tell without knowing the property price but, assuming it's in London, that seems steep.
The conveyancing isn't really a function of the property price. Twice the price isn't twice the work.

Conveyancing, straight forward freehold house. I paid £400 not including searches etc. As for relationship, all comms were directed through an iPhone app which logged all correspondence on the file and they scanned all letters etc to the app so I had PDFs a couple of days ahead of them arriving by second class post.

I think I've found a good solicitor/ agent. It would be good to hear what people have paid and / or been quoted for conveyancing fees, as a percentage of the purchase price. Reason for asking is I think a good relationship is probably worth paying over the odds for, but I am unsure what the odds are! So a bit of benchmarking would be interesting.
FWIW I have been quoted 1.18% which should cover everything other than setting up the mortgage and paying the deposit... I think.
