Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Waddon who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you maylive to regret choosing an an untested lawyer.

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
