1 bill rather than 2 solicitors trying to stretch it out so they can whack the costs up , and you can bet your life 2 would make a heck of a mountain out of it ..
be the classic well i will write to there solicitor and ask for this and ask for that then i will write to you and let you know , and on it goes ..

Quicker and easier i dont know why people make such a major thing about buying houses Its not technical or rocket science you swap money for deeds to a property , check the obvious legalitys ensure clean titles and stuff etc etc .. a doddle job solicitors pass it to there juniors in the Uk .. and no doubt they do in Spain also ..

One thing i would never ever in a zillion years is buy offplan thats when things get technical , but a proper house with deeds and registered and actually having a roof and 4 walls is easy ..
The err was because if you think a solicitor is going to charge you for one conveyance when he is doing two then I'd be very suprised. They'll still do all the searches and the work, so they will charge twice. Been there, done that
