Transfer of Equity - does anyone know a cheap solicitor

helsbells

I originally asked about this a couple of days ago - JoeK kindly replied that he thought it could get done for apx £150. Unfortunately everyone I am ringing is saying £300-£400, we can't really afford this because we are already being charged for changing the mortgage deal. I know it costs just £80 plus vat for a joint will and wondered if this would be a cheaper way of ensuring ownership passes to me should anything happen to my partner. Although I am not totally sure its the same thing. At the same time though it is my house too and if we could get this done for about £200 or less we would still prefer to get it done properly. Can anyone help ? has anyone done this and found the same problems? Does anyone know of anyone who does it cheaply?

Cheers everyone really grateful for your help

Once they've done the money laundering checks, met you, taken instructions, opened the file, written to you, done the drafting, made the appropriate changes at the Land Registry, written to you to confirm it's all been done and archived the file (and stored it for seven years minimum), it will probably cost about £300-400.

I have found someone who will charge £290 all in which seems a compromise I suppose:rolleyes:
