What should I check when comparing a conveyancing quote for buying or selling a property in Manchester?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A Manchester conveyancing quote should clearly show the legal fee, VAT, search costs, Land Registry charges, bank transfer fees and any likely additional work. Check whether it covers a freehold or leasehold transaction, as leasehold purchases can involve extra charges for reviewing the lease and dealing with the managing agent. Ask whether the quote is fixed or could change if the transaction becomes more complex, and confirm who will handle your matter. Comparing written quotes from solicitors regulated by the SRA can help you assess both price and service.
