Good Independant solicitor

[kilrail]

Everyone says that the best bit of advice to have a good independant solicitor but a) How do you know who is a good independant solicitor, and, b) What is the normal cost for handling a purchase (conveyancing) as I have had 1% of purchase price mentioned. This is just for conveyancing not any additional fees.

In UK the conveyancing cost is usually fixed at around £400+ plus addition search fees etc.

Hello Kirail. You can find an independent solicitor by contacting my office. We use various trusted lawyers. As regards conveyancing. I carry out this service for a fee which is inferior to the 1% quoted.
I hope that this has been useful for you. If you need any further information you may contact me by email or send me your email address.

I can suggest an independent solicitor that you should not use - by PM only

[popeyeandginger]

I will shortly send you a pm Kilrail - my Vera based solicitor charges minimum 1/2% to maximum 1% depending complexity.

Thanks for replies - I have 2 names and I have seen other favourable reviews for these two so will decide at the time. Michael has obviously had a bad experience but no PM yet!

[popeyeandginger]

You should have it by now Kil - please let me know if not and I'll resend it

[kilrail]

Sorry Pops I didn't mean you, I've got that OK , I was referring to Michael saying he knew one to avoid.

No worries - I had in fact not read your item correclty (and neither had I got around to sending the PM!) - So the reminder was timely Kil!
