Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Melton Constable who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you are willing to spend time scrutinising quotes you might reduce the fees marginally by perhaps £100 plus VAT.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Melton Constable
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Melton Constable conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
