We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Hailsham found by you but have come across alternative quotes on the internet seem cheaper – why is this?
There are lots of solicitors offering theoretically looks to be the cheapest conveyancing in Hailsham.

Some hide extras deep into the terms of engagement. The conveyancers that we list for conveyancing in Hailsham neverdo this.

Does a directory service exist listing Barclays panel solicitors in Hailsham on the Building Society Association’s Website?

My partner and I are in the throws of viewing apartments in Hailsham and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this stage? I will be getting a home loan with RBS.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Hailsham
