solicitor fee £450. does this sound fair

mooncat

to sell my house with no morgage involved and also were not buying another house.

so does this fee sound fair to people who deal with a solicitor

shop around - solicitors vary. Many charge on a sliding scale- the more the house costs, the higher their fee.

Clutton is right. Solicitors conveyancing costs differ wildly. Dont forget to add VAT to that figure. But, £450 + VAT does seem quite good.

it does not seem overly expensive in my opionion - you are not being ripped off, let's put it that way.

I think that is a fair price.

There is not a lot of work in this one,how many hours for £450 ,a few more quotes is required ,phone calls,simply ,15 minutes work,some companies just do conveyancing,I am sure you will beat that,knock £50 off and quote that when you telephone them.Let us know how you go on,you are in a win win situation,never be complacent about one quote.When you invoke competition you do every-one a favour,with the exception of the expensive,who make a lot of money in the house market.

Why should the price be relative to the sale price ,how does that effect the work involved £80000 or £130000,why a sliding scale.

The same goes for all the industry estate agents ,brokers,how does the sale price effect the work involved,they just want a slice of your cake
