Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Finningley who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Skipton Building Society. 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 on the high side. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as £125.

As someone not used to the Finningley conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Finningley
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Finningley or throughout South Yorkshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Finningley is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
I am remortgaging my property in Finningley, does my lawyer have to be on the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
