What should I check in a fixedfee conveyancing quote before choosing a solicitor?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A fixed-fee conveyancing quote should clearly state what work is included, whether VAT is included, and which disbursements—such as Land Registry and search fees—are charged separately. Check whether extra costs could apply for leasehold property, a mortgage, a sale and purchase, gifted deposits, or complications with the title. Ask when the fee could change and request a written explanation of any likely additional charges. Comparing like-for-like quotes from a solicitor or licensed conveyancer can help, and you can check the firm’s regulation before instructing them.
