Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Hampstead Garden Suburb who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
