My previous solicitor has quoted £1700 for leasehold conveyancing in Garston. I’m hoping to downsize from a Victorian property for £300,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Garston?

I am selling my apartment in Garston. Does the lawyer need to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
