What kind of price is the property? £1k or so for something < £1m, bit more for more spendy stuff.
-
I got quotes from around 1.2k to 1.6k a couple of months ago (200k house)
-
3 quotes attached all for Bristol purchases.
2 for the leasehold flat I am in the process of buying at the moment in Bristol with local firms
1 for a freehold house (firm was in Sheffield) I thought I'd bought before we realised the estate agent gave them the wrong figure...All were personal recommendations. Went for the more expensive one of the two. Watch out for fees on stuff like Lifetime ISA, gifts etc is using any of that.
Edit - price in there so you can see relative to property price. Imagine they quote more the more expensive the place is and I think leasehold costs more
-
All law firms now have to publish prices for conveyancing - so you can search and find some comparisons.
You can always find cheaper, depends on the level of service you're looking for really. No harm in asking why they're more expensive if that's the case.
I'd say the fees Howard suggested are low, but hvsds numbers seem a bit high - lots of variables though.

Solicitors fees for a purchase (outside London): what's a reasonable price? I'm worrying that the firm that we're thinking of engaging is silly expensive.
