So selling my flat. The EA agent recommended solicitor is only £100 more than the quotes I have received from some independents in the area, and includes a "no completion no fee" clause in it. The independents usually have some kind of clause to say if a completion fails you pay £150 per hour of work undertaken up to that point.

Is it a no brainer, I should use the EA one right?

You could go back to the indies and tell them they look expensive compared to the EA and ask them if they want to fix that.

Out of interest what were they asking for?

I do like the no complete no fee clause, everyone seems to have a story about buyer drop outs at the final hour.

EA asking for £1200 + VAT (leasehold fees included)
Best independent (and recommend in the thread) £1100 + VAT
