Displayed by rule
Solicitors must now display prices for common services, but the final bill still depends on complexity and disbursements. source
Online is cheaper
Online and national providers often charge a fraction of a high-street firm for the same conveyancing or will. source
Watch the extras
Legal quotes are quoted low then padded with disbursements and add-ons. The final total is what matters. source
