Fair Price for Conveyancing?

jonny2510

We've just sold our 2 bed semi for £124,995 and have been quoted a "special offer" (through the solicitors that the estate agents use) of £325 + VAT

Does this seem a fair price for a house of this value in the north west?

That seems a fair price to me, though I do live in West Yorkshire which is not really your area. I'm a sales negogiator and get asked to find quotes for quite a few of our vendors. You could always ring Simply Conveyancing for a quote, they use local solcitors all over the country and are usually cheaper than going to the soliciotr direct!

It sounds an excellent price to me. You don't often get a good deal from the solicitor recommended by the ea, so you've hit lucky there.

That'll ding dang do for me!

Thanks for the replies / reassurance

Make sure you get a written estimate and read ALL the small print. £325 + vat is quite cheap.

It's a good deal if they do not add on extras for, e.g:

• Paying off the mortgage (if you have one)
• Postages, telephones, and petty incidentals,
• Professional Indemnity Contribution
• Completing in less than 3 weeks from exchange
