Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Cambridge who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Clydesdale. I am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

The estimate does seem a little steep. If you you were to look around you may be able to trim some of the cost by as much as £125.
