Or
You can go to an actual solicitor who specialises in the area... It will cost you more but the service and their expertise will be of a higher standard.
I know which one I would choose...
not true at all, we used a well known "high standard" solicitor in the centre of Leeds, who turned out to be terrible. The solicitor appointed to me saw me as a "little" job, and he couldn't be arsed with it. So bad in fact we had our all our fee's refunded after making a formal complaint to the directors.
For me, i'd use a "conveyancing factory" next time, as they do it day in, day out.
You have obviously had a bad experience. Thats all.

all quotes for our house came in between £800 - £1000 depening on how many searches were required.
It also goes on the value of the property! :wave:

Brabus - The first option generally will take less time...as they are a factory for conveyancing transactions...
The second will take longer generally due to solicitors having other stuff on.

It depends if your in a rush to get in to your new property, in our case we are FTB's and the longer it takes the more money we will have, therefore i would go with option 1., obviously this is not for everyone.

Thats not bad actually, the actual solicitor's fee is usually around £350-£500 plus dispersements. Just make sure they don't charge any additional hourly fees or fees per letter for normal conveyancing work :thumbs:
