Commercial Lease Solicitor

[mchoody]

We are in the process of selling our current premises (small retail shop, value £110,000 with a small mortgage outstanding, £20K) and taking on a 5 year lease on a commercial unit (£13,600pa). Anyone have any experience or recommendations for a solicitor for this? I've had a quick quote from a local surrey based company, estimated fees are £ 1,250 for the sale and £ 1,500 plus disbursements for the lease. Sound fair?

I've actually appointed them this week, by the time I think about it another few weeks will have passed and I'm keen to get the ball rolling!
