Do you know if there’s a difference in the workload between initial mortgages and re-mortgages? To the layman, remortgage legal fees appear to be money for nothing.
Dramatic_Hammer-
I can't imagine they'd be that different. You'd still need a report on title and the usual undertakings. Might be a small difference, but I doubt it would be significant.
I hasten to add it's not something I have personal experience of doing. I regularly advise conveyancing solicitors, but it tends to be on very specialised areas rather than the nuts and bolts of the conveyancing process.

In most cases, at least that in my experience. 3 figures would not be unusual for conveyancing specialists. As Fox says, it's a volume business. The margins are wafer-thin, so volume is the only way to do it profitably.
