Change of solicitor after application

Evening all,

It seems that our mortgage advisor has submitted our application with the solicitor that he recommended, rather than waiting for us to gather quotes. I have finally received a quote from their solicitor and it is almost double that of our cheapest, so we obviously wont be proceeding with them.

The question is, how difficult will this be to change as the application has been submitted already?

    Compare the quotes carefully. Make sure that you are looking at like for like.

  • Worth checking that your bargain basement solicitor is on the lenders panel before cancelling the current one also.
