Solicitors fee's

About to get a bill from them for their help in the purchase of my house, they sent me a quote for £1044 when i asked for their help at the start of the process. They have sent me an email saying they are confirming the final costs.

I had to ring them and ask questions etc im assuming that those questions/visting to go over the paperwork will all be included in the quote as part of the process?

It was £325 for the costs and 7** for the rest of the work done. Laundering checks etc etc.

Im worried im going to get a huge bill.

    It's usually all included (apart from unforeseen things and stuff like money transfers), but some solicitors do charge for every little thing they do - however much for a letter, a phonecall, etc. It can be a very expensive way of buying a property.
