That’s the conclusion of the Legal Services Board’s (LSB) ‘Prices of individual legal services in England and Wales’ survey across 1,500 providers, published this week.
For straightforward divorce cases, about 65–74% of providers offer their services remotely, compared to 32% in 2020.
Price transparency has ‘significantly improved’ in conveyancing with 88% of conveyancers displaying their prices on their website, compared to 47% of divorce lawyers and 62% of wills, trusts, probate and estate administration services providers.
For the cheapest divorce—about £750—go to Wales or Northern England. For assistance with estate administration where probate has been granted, try the Midlands and South-East England for value, at about £3,600.
Samuel Omolade, LSB head of strategy and research, said: ‘The LSB will continue to push for greater price transparency across the sector, making it easier for people to shop around, find prices and compare services.’
