We were going to get a DIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

I was recommended by a number of estate agents in Stockton Heath to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
