Any solicitors around? Can you tell me if this is a fair price?.

I'm selling a small retail business, i will be ending my lease as new owner has negotiated a new one with landlords, and will have a contract of sale. Solicitor quoted £1-1.5k does that sound about right?

Difficult to say without knowing things like value of the business, complexities like staff members, stock to deal with etc.

Honestly I doubt anybody can tell you that. If you want to check it, give the same details to another solicitor and ask for their quote.

That's the only details I've given to mine, cost of business 40k plus stock at value, no staff, sole trader.

Sounds reasonable then. I'd always try and get 2 or 3 quotes if you can and ideally a recommendation.

Prices also vary widely depending on location.

Sounds like a bargain for sale of a business and surrender of a lease.

Thank you if that sounds reasonable that's all I wanted to know.

It sounds very reasonable - I'd expect to pay at least £650 plus VAT for surrender of lease alone

That sounds reasonable to me
