Conveyancing fees
Have you bought or sold a house recently? If so what did you pay for your conveyancing fees?
My solicitor has quoted £525 +VAT, plus outlays such as land registry searches, etc, and he expects the total to be around £850 +VAT Just trying to figure out if this is competitive. |

Re: Conveyancing fees
its a few years since I moved, but that sounds pretty competetive, especially as he actually does something for the money, more than the other parasites.
Ask ED, he'll know |

Re: Conveyancing fees
Thanks everyone!
If the property was in England I wouldn't just be asking Ed about the price, I'd be asking Ed to do the work!

Re: Conveyancing fees
Hope Ed doesn't mind me re-spouting his advice but he told me £450+VAT , sometimes more dependant on the circumstance

Re: Conveyancing fees
I don't know if perhaps the Scottish system requires more work, or maybe just has a different going rate, which is why I posted this in SV Ecosse.
