I paid £1,600, last year to a loose family friend. They sold my leasehold in Lambeth in record time, very good If you want a name then email, might be a bit more now. If you're people are good, why not just use them. You'll only save a few quid and it's all more stress.
Thanks, will drop you a message, would be good to have another option.
The specific person I dealt with for the lease extension may not do conveyancing so I’d be crossing my fingers that the others in the company are decent.
Thanks, will have a proper search.
And agreed, just looking for one who is competent and won’t add stress to the process.
