My family lawyer has quoted £1400 for freehold conveyancing in Brynmawr. I’m selling a modern property for £300,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Brynmawr?

Any high street Brynmawr lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brynmawr. Having lived in Brynmawr for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
