There may be other fees payable during the transaction due to matters of which we are not aware of at the time the matter commences and these are listed under “Additional Legal Services and Documentation”

Typical disbursements (payments to third parties which do not form part of our fees) will include the following:-

Land Registry Official Copies (sale, remortgage and Transfer)                                   £6/12

Other searches such as environmental, ground stability, flood and coal mining as examples may be required for a purchase depending on location. If you are taking out a mortgage we will have to do these additional searches to satisfy your lender’s requirements. If you are a cash purchaser then whilst we would recommend these searches, they would be optional.

Stamp Duty Land Tax will depend on the purchase price of the property and whether you are a first time buyer, buying a shared ownership property or a second home, amongst other factors.

Land Registry Fees will also depend on the price of the property and whether the property is a newbuild or first registration

For commercial property matters we do not have fee scales as each transaction will be different and our costs are usually based on an hourly rate of £225 per hour

As mentioned earlier we would recommend that you contact us directly so we can offer you a bespoke estimate on conveyancing fees.
