You should ask around locally and see which solicitor friends and neighbours have used, and who they'd recommend.

When I was buying I contacted 3 firms (2 local, one national) and got quotes for conveyancing. I based my decision on how efficiently they dealt with my enquiry and the information provided with my quote (and how soon they got back to me). One came out far ahead of the others, even though she was slightly more expensive.

In short you have to make up the difference.

Assuming 95% mortgage, they will lend you 95% of the valuation figure.

See it as an opportunity to get the price down, don't pay over the valuation figure there is no need.

Sorry for this, but good and cheap seems to be a contradiction in terms when it comes to lawyers.

Hi We are using a company via the conveyancing warehouse web site. They have been very good so far, and loads cheaper than any local solicitors.
We are only selling but lost our fisrt buyers, Solicitors had chased him and kept us informed also they chased us when we where late posting a form or letter etc.
Also they ring if they have a problem.
Good luck.
