legal fees seem quite cheap (SLDT form is extra - most solicitors do this in their quote).
I would try to go with a decent local who may charge u a bit more but will save u alot of hassel and will know the area etc. Its not worth the risk with the biggest purchase of your life!!!
I wouldn't compromise just to save £100-£200 - it could end costing alot more if the transaction isn't handled properly.
