Quite so. For most types of work, the answer is "there are too many variables to allow us to do so in a meaningful way, so doing so would cause confusion and potentially mislead clients but we are happy to discuss the likely costs of an individual piece of work, so the relevant information is available to clients / prospective clients"

not to mention creating the kind of problems you see with unscrupulous conveyancing factories already, where a low headline rate conceals lots of hidden extras, misleading clients into thinking they are getting a cheaper service when compared with those ho provide more accurate and clearer information.
