Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Goring who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Goring for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. You should note that Chelsea Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Chelsea Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed views regarding the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Goring only carry out very few conveyances per annum.
