Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Northumberland Heath who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
