The solicitor who assisted with my former purchase has given a fee estimate £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Sandwich. I am selling a modern house for £200,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Sandwich?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldlive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to be sure that the solicitor can represent your mortgage company.

My Conveyancer in Sandwich has never been on on the National Westminster Bank Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the National Westminster Bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Sandwich solicitors but National Westminster Bank will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional overall legal fees as well as result in frustration.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Convince your lawyer to use their best endeavours to join the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel
My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Sandwich and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Sandwich conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sandwich. We have lived in Sandwich for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I was recommended by a number of estate agents in Sandwich to select a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
