James Durr, co-founder of Property Solvers, said: “This data is a general guide only.
"It’s always worth approaching conveyancing firms directly for prices based on the intricacies of your own property transaction as you may find that there’s an extra premium.
“For instance, conveyancing fees for traditional and modern auction sales as well as Help to Buy, buy-to-let and inherited property transactions are often higher due to the extra workload required.
“We came across quotes as low as £377 and numbers that were in the £500 to £600 price range.
“Without casting aspersions, there’s a fine line between paying too little for conveyancing and, in return, receiving an inferior level of service.
“On this note, also watch out for hidden extras that may unexpectedly appear on your final completion statement.”
