I have just been quoted 769 for the legal fees on a 80k purchase, includes soliciter, searches, land reg, and bank charges.
I have now just been told that in (un-popular) deprived areas you can get away with not paying this.
Any truth in this.....Cheers

I was about £500 for fee's on a £36k.

there's an exemption or lower rate of stamp duty in deprived areas, but at 80k that won't affect you anyway.
Haven't heard of anything else being reduced because of it
