Thanks all for your help. I have decided to go for a firm with good online customer reviews even though they are slightly more expensive.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

The only way to evaluate the quote is to read in written form, along with the full terms and conditions. You can then see whether it includes everything that other firms are including.
A classic example is an additional fee for the SDLT Return within the T&Cs
Yes, and a lot of people who are buying below the SDLT threshold assume that the form does not need to be completed, but they are in for a shock.
You really need to watch out for lots of small print that refers to extras of one kind or another that you may think won't apply - but they may well do - e.g. completion in less than 21 days from exchange - apart from some newbuilds, the norm is around 7-14 days.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0
