1. It is a change of name deed
2. They can charge what they like and £5.00 is usually the minimum and standard .
3. They dont have to advise you on what you have written so if it is wrong - tough.
4. You wont get any free certified copies!

are you saying its wrong ? ( accepted by everyone for me ? )
solicitor told me max he could charge was £5 ...............EACH
so whats your point ?
p.s wording checked fully by a commissioner of oaths

so pay 40/50 quid if you want or pay £10 for two originals.
