Why a range, not a calculator
Form LL and identity work looks simple but varies case to case: two owners in different countries, a company proprietor, a completion date three days away. A calculator gives a number that can change once the solicitor sees the title. A range sets honest expectations, and the fee you agree is the fee you pay.
