Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Lyneham who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from TSB. I am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. Where you are prepared to invest time contrasting costs you could decrease the fees marginally by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were happy with the service the firm offered you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown solicitor. If is important to enquire the firm can represent TSB. Do make use of our search tool to choose a Lyneham conveyancing firm on the TSB member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Lyneham.

We expect to receive a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Lyneham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
