Residential conveyancing charges
Please note that our base legal fees are scaled depending on the final sale/purchase. The scale reflects our risk and professional indemnity insurance costings. Our Conveyancing Services are carried out by a Solicitor or other equivalent Fee Earner.
Our Solicitors have varying hourly rates depending on experience but for conveyancing transactions we work on a fixed fee basis. All fees are subject to change should circumstances require it during the course of the transaction. You will be notified of any change in fee before the additional work is undertaken on your behalf.
The purpose of this document is to help you make an informed choice about the costs of our conveyancing services, before formally approaching our firm and instructing us. A formal estimate will be provided to you once we are instructed.
