I've been in the same place for the last 45 years and this is a steep learning curve, (think) I've settled on a local solicitor. Surprised to find some aren't taking on any new work at the moment because of the amount they've already got. I skirted those suggested by the estate agent after reading reviews. The reviews for the one I hope to be using are good, but hope they are, as it must be a good sign for others not taking on new work.
It seems the average to completion is 15 - 20 weeks. Doesn't bother me as I didn't expect to make the stamp duty cut-off date, although I may make the second as I'm a cash buyer.
Solicitors fees look to be in the region of £12K - strewth, just as well I'm sitting down. I've never paid that much for a car!
