As a buyer I'm paying £1350 and have been told that's on the cheaper side.
-
Have you got a breakdown of the costs?
some of that 1400 should show what the solictors fees are exactly? and the rest being made up of searches, land registry etc etc
-
We're looking at £1170 for conveyancing + £320 for searches etc inc VAT.
Have also been told it'll actually be less but I'm not holding my breath on that.
Not London. -
Maybe not directly comparable, but I'm paying Direction Law £897 for the sale of my share of a Shared Ownership flat. Conveyancing is £695 + VAT.

You can get it cheaper but who cares? Best bet is to get a solid recommendation from someone who isn't an idiot then talk to whoever they recommend, make sure they are adults.
You could consider going back the same solicitor who your sellers used when they sold you the house, they will at least know the place.
Obviously do not use the EA recommended solicitor, they only recommend them based on the kick back they get, they give no fucks about the service or quality. That said, they might not be awful, but just view them with the same scepticism you would any other, if not more.

Seems a little high but not a million miles away. I'd assume the fee would be commensurately lower depending what stage it falls through and not much different if you got another buyer or you can get third party insurance to cover that.
It's a stressful time though, getting someone cheap that you can never get hold of or screws stuff up isn't worth it.

Does anyone have any recent experience with solicitor fees? Sale only conveyancing on a freehold within a managed cul de sac? Just been quoted 1400 by a recommended solicitor, but they don't offer a no sale no fee agreement. Does that seem about right?
I don't really want to spend my day looking for solicitors for the sake of 50 to 100 quid savings...
