Transfer of Equity - easylawyers.co.uk and Dickinson Dees

I am currently progressing a Transfer of Equity and buying my brother's share of our house. It's an amicable arrangement, sum agreed etc but given that it's straight forward we were looking to use a cheapish or fee fixed internet conveyancing solicitor, rather than some of the more expensive local branches.
The one that seems to be regularly found during searches is the easylawyers.co.uk site which states a fixed fee and that they use Dickinson Dees based in Newcastle (who appear reliable from their own website but make no mention of this arrangement).
Just wondered whether anyone had any experience of using easylawyers be it good or otherwise and whether they can be recommended.
If not are there any other reasonable priced internet based services out there ?
Just wondered as I'm away with work alot so it doesn't matter that I'm not using a local office, given that most of the stuff will have to be posted anyway.
I know you shouldn't look to cut corners with legal services but we've already had to agree to pay 2 other fees to the existing lender as part of this process

Not used easylawyers but did have Dickinson Dees deal with a remortgage which was perfectly uneventful and went through in a timely manner. Whether that counts as good service or not, I don't now!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
