Hi all,

I would like to know from some guru’s here regarding the below;

Property done SPA with Lawyer Firm A, however when requesting a total quote for POT & POC and all charges included from Lawyer A, they provide me a quote higher compared to Lawyer Firm B that I was able to identify. ( This includes professional fees,disbursements, MOT stamp duty and SST)

Based on my understanding of your go back to the same lawyer you will be able to get a better pricing, so I wonder how come Law Firm A quoted me higher than Law Firm B.

The question is;
1. what are the advantages and disadvantages to going with the same lawyer being Lawyer Firm A in this case?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of if I were to go with the Lawyer Firm B instead?
3. Will any issue arise or a delay in documentation or legally due to going with Lawyer B?
4. Is there cost I should be aware of that Lawyer Firm B is not telling me about that I should be aware of for appointment of new lawyer?

Appreciate your kind inputs, still a noob when it comes to legal matters for property and thus hoping to hear from the ones who knows this section better.

How much different ? Which part different? Professional fess? Disbursements? Stamp duty ?

If possible post the two quotes here minus the legal firm names.

Doesn't matter which legal firm does the POT and POC.

here my answer:

cheaper- application using bulk ,means they will collect other owner then process it.duration longer. legal fee around 1.7k
expensive- personally process for you.legal fee 3k above

Hi,
Yes the Law Firm B with the lower price is said to be bulk service. But their legal fee is at 2.8k plus my stamp duty. So does it mean it’s expensive for the legal fee?

Hi there, no difference in the Stamp duty. Mostly is on the Disbursement and professional fees.

Law firm A charging me 5.2k without the stamp duty
Law from B charging me 2.8k without stamp duty.

And yes something I noted was that Law firm B is doing it in Bulk service. But does the fees justify?

bulk = wait longer
