Advice on Solicitors?

Hello All,
Just about to move from our first home and wondered what to do about solicitors? We don't want to use the same firm as we used when we bought our current home, so plan to get 3 estimates from other local firms.
We're selling this house and buying a new home. Can anyone breakdown what (as a rule) I should expect a solicitor to be doing? Anyone recently gone through the process that can give an idea of costs involved (selling our house for £160K and buying our new home at £250K...or a shade under we hope). It looks like we might be seling our house privately (and not through an EA) - does this change anything?
Many thanks for all the advise and sorry if it's a regular query.

all i can say is go on word of mouth when looking for solicitors. dont just go for the cheapest. as for selling your house privately, it makes no difference.0
