I'm guessing that any online conveyancing site that covers both "England and Wales" and "Scotland" could only be an introducer. By all means get the quotes but a good portion of the "fees" will actually just go to the introducer.
I'd say the fees a solicitor gets are far better value for money than an EA or Broker gets. At one point before EA's cottoned on to the percentage charge EA's and solicitors were on a par for fees. Nowadays I'd think a solicitor would be lucky to get 20% of the fees the EA makes and both EA's and Brokers are not nearly so regulated as the solicitors (in England and Wales anyway...)
Good luck finding a Scottish conveyancer!:think:0 -

they quoted just over 2700 for the bauying and selling of the properties, the cheapest solicitor was just over 3000, so its saving me £300, better than nothing
