I wonder whether I am in the majority in disagreeing with the findings of the report on referral fees prepared for the Legal Services Board (see [2010] Gazette, 20 May, 1). According to the study, the average conveyancing fee when a referral fee is paid is £543, and the average referral fee is £330 – making a net conveyancing fee for the solicitor of £213. Are we really supposed to treat that fee seriously?
