When an offer on a property has been accepted, the seller's estate agent will need your solicitor's details. Your solicitor handles all legal aspects of purchasing property, this is known as conveyancing. You have to pay all the solicitor's costs so it is quite in order to obtain quotes from a number of solicitors to decide which firm you want to use.

Sometimes upon remortgaging, lenders will undertake either to cover your legal fees in full or in part.
