Was going to post this in Accounting/Legal but wasn't sure it was relevant as its not really about contracting but anyway...we may have *finally* found a property that we like and feel we have a good chance of getting although I'm still hoping to get it down from its asking price (£297,500, next door identical just sold for £290k so that's the aim).
I want to try and get all our ducks in a row as I want to get to exchange ASAP - we need to be exchanged by 10 Jan so we don't miss the cut off for applying for schools for our daughter. This obviously depends a lot on the onward chain as the vendors are looking to buy somewhere but I want to make sure things move as quickly as possible at our end.
I've had one conveyancing quote from my mortgage broker's recommended firm that came in quite high - well over £1000. I've got some online quotes in the range of £750-1000, including a quote from these guys Homeward Legal for £541.20 conveyancing fees (all inclusive) + £400 in disbursements (not including stamp duty obviously).
I'm trying to weigh up whether to go with an online conveyancer (I'm more than happy to deal with everything by email) or go with someone a bit more local. Any views on which is better and any particular online conveyancers you'd happily recommend? Thanks.
