Solicitors - just print money

🤣🤣🤣

I won't moan they do the job they should I suppose. This new firm my bf recommend for me. They've been efficient so far.

@MrAverage1965 Agreed. But estate agents fee model is based on % of sale price. Here it's around 2 to 3%. Lawyers charge by the minute! I use a conveyancer for my property transfers and theirs is a fee for service. Very reasonable!

They do tend to be very expensive.
I never understand why they charge more as the value of a transaction goes up. The same with estate agents.
For example when buying and selling a house. It's the same amount of work for them regardless of the price but they charge more as the price goes up.

@MrAverage1965 they do way more work than the estate agent though.

@KatyO83 That's true although a house purchase / sale is much simpler than most people realise.

Am I being too forward by asking what type of solicitor and for what?? Hopefully it is money well imvested.

@samueltyler2 to be fair to them they are doing multiple things and I said to bill me just once.

Conveyancing, will updating and setting up a trust

Why do you need legal aid? Everything ok?

KatyO83 · 41-45, F

@Longpatrol everything is good it's just good legal stuff. Just all and once and one large invoice. I could have spaced it all out

@KatyO83 Phew glad to hear it's not anything serious
