I am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. Where you are prepared to expend time comparing quotes you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT.

Am I right to be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Newton-le-Willows conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest conveyancers to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
