When you instruct a solicitor to carry out some work for you, your solicitor is obliged by law to give you information in writing about the legal charges you will incur.
The information you will be given will be as follows: the solicitor’s actual charges, or, where this is not possible or practicable, an estimate of the solicitor’s charges, or, where this is not possible or practicable, the basis on which the solicitor’s charges are to be made.
