Hi
I have recently purchased my first property and my solicitor has issued me with a fee statement. I just want to check if the various fees are reasonable, they are:
I will query these items with my solicitor but before I do so I want to check your thoughts
1. Solicitor fee - 1250 (i think this is reasonable)
2. Postage stationary and phone - 100 (I don't think this is at all reasonable)
3. Commissioners fee estimate - 24 (Iv seen online that this is 10)
4. Law searchers fee - 350 (not sure what this is or if its reasonable)
5. Purchase deed - 700
6. "mortgage" - 175
7. Copy folio and file plan - 40
8. sundries - 20 (not sure what these could be but its only relatively small)
Any thoughts are very welcome.
cheers!
