Buying House - No chain - Legal Costs Uk

[ATM]

Hello

My friend was just explaining that she is buying her first house. She is a first time buyer and therefore she is not selling. She said her legal costs were going to be about £1100 based on the documentation she has been sent. I thought this sounded a bit high so thought I'd ask on here if that's the going rate or should she shop around some more?

Thanks

Sounds high for a basic purchase only.

Depends on geography and complexity of process.

West Midlands.

I'm not sure what contributes towards complexity but she will be having a mortgage.
