Transfer of equity solicitor advice.

mrmart

I am in the process of removing a name from a joint mortgage and the mortgage company require me to provide a solicitor to carry out the paperwork.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced and skilled solicitor to do the job as I have seen quotes via the mortgage company website of £400 upwards and considering I paid £800 for my solicitor during the buying process this cost is ridiculous.

I can't use the original solicitors as they have gone the whole accident claims route and I know from a friend they are not as efficient anymore.

Thanks for any recommendations.

All we can suggest is you shop around and compare different firms in different places.

I found the cheapest to be gplawyers dot co dot uk 'Gordons Property Lawyers' and pretty swift so far. Sorry as a newbie can't post the link so have typed out. Anyway Good Luck saved me more than half.

Thank you kingstreet for you advice, I have been looking around since I posted the message.

Thanks as well julie11 for the suggestion, did a quick quote on their site and it came up as £564 which is quite high but I would have to call for a proper quote which I will do later.

I havent instructed anyone yet as what I thought was a relatively quick process has taken close to a month and has only reached the stage the underwriters would be happy to proceed after me chasing things up almost daily.

Hopefully now with someting in writing I can proceed and see how much longer it all takes.
