    Hi,
    I just got a quote from a solicitor and am wondering if it is reasonable. I haven't a clue how much it should be. I am caught time wise for shopping around so would be great if I could save myself the time and get a few opinions here. If anyone has experience of how much fees should be for self build mortgage legal costs and transfer of site from parent to child. I have full breakdown of costs if this is too vague.

    Thanks a million, would really appreciate any feedback

    I'm paying 1000 euro + vat + fees (which will be the same whoever you go with). This is for the exact same as you too … site transfer and self build mortgage.

    We transferred a site from parent to child last November before the land registry fees increased.
    For everything it cost us EUR1500
    The quote for mortgage draw down was EUR620.

    A quote I received in August (only one I have to hand right now) breaks down as follows:

    Purchase of a second hand house

    Professional Fees: 900 + VAT
    Searches on Title/deed of transfer: 70 to 90
    Land registry fees:
    Registration of transfer 600
    Mortgage registration 175
    Certified copy of folio 6.00

    Other quotes ranged from 800 to 1200 for professional fees excl VAT. - I rang about 5 practices. Some added extra fees for paper, stamps, calls etc. not counted in the professional fees others had an all in price.

    Valuation by bank 80
    Engineer Survey (check planning permissions, boundary of site, visual inspection) 399 incl VAT - quotes ranged from 350 to 600
