Hello,
I am close to the end of the process of buying a house. I am a first time buyer and don't have previous experience with it.
My solicitor has provided me with a draft invoice and it is higher than quoted. This is due to a €150 fee to DLS Law Searches for Planning Search. I asked them was this fee not expected as it was not on the quote and they said it should have been on the quote.
I went back and checked the quotes from 3 other solicitors I got and non of them had this fee on their quotes either.
Would you know if it is normal to have this fee or is it something they should have done themselves, but paid the DLS to do?
Thank you in advance.
