Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Caergwrle who conducted the legals 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or do I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you are prepared to expend time scrutinising quotes you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125.

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
