Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Anerley who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Aldermore. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The charges seem a tad high. If you you were to look around you could trim some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds.

My husband and I have just had an offer agreed on a house and had meeting on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £200. This is because they will then have to instruct a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?

Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society.
