What are other peoples experience of solicitor fees (not even sure why they are needed tbh), thanks I can dig the correspondence file out and check, but off the top of my head I think the mortgage deed cost something like £200 to £300. If it had been more than this I'd have remembered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtop Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 no, we just used the ones we had used to buy the plot a few weeks before assuming the cost would be lower... anyhow, going to try again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonM Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 My conveyancing fees were £850 for my remortgage. It will work out at about £1100 when I sell my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamJones Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I’ve just been quoted £1200 solicitors fees. I was thinking £200-300! What are they even doing for that? A couple of forms?! any recommendations for a more reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
