"I need a holiday. How much are they?"

Specify the location you want to visit, duration of holiday, time of year, type of accommodation and I'll give you a pretty good idea as to cost.

"I want a new house. What do they cost?"

Specify the area, type of property, size of property, and again, I'll be able to tell you the cost

"Imagine a piece of string. How long is it?"

YOU imagine a piece of string, tell me, and I'll tell you how much it will cost.

Now you want conveyancing on a freehold house with mortgage, no linked transaction, and you SHOULD know exactly how much that will cost. No difference. If you don't see that, then you'll be heading the way of Betamax.
