I was referred a conveyancer who has sent a quote for £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Wraysbury. I’m looking to sell a Victorian house for £150,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Wraysbury?
The charges are a bit high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. If is important to enquire the firm can also act for your lender.

The owners of the home we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing practitioner in Wraysbury who has recommended a lock out agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main concerns with entering into any lock out contract (sometimes referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular amongst Wraysbury conveyancing lawyers as a result. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to be issued with an injunction to prevent the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.
