Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Stony Stratford who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you could reduce the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm gave you maycome to regret choosing an an untested solicitor.

The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stony Stratford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
