    Selling only, freehold.

    £654 inc vat. plus £9 office copy / disbursements. plus £26.40 for chaps money transfer x 2 (mortgage repayment and proceeds to you).

    Possibly may be some extras if things are very much out of the ordinary for any reason.

    But that's my local Solicitor here in Eastern England.

    Others here are not too dissimilar price wise.
