Conveyancing Fees
Director and Head of Conveyancing, Anees Khan has overall supervision of our conveyancing transactions.
When using our conveyancing calculator, please ensure that you choose the relevant options relating to the property e.g. new build or shared ownership, to ensure that you obtain a full and accurate quotation.
Our fees cover all of the work* required to complete the purchase of your new home, including dealing with registration at the Land Registry and dealing with the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax (Stamp Duty) if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax (Land Tax) if the property you wish to buy is in Wales.
How long will my house purchase take?
It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain.
Stages of the process
The precise stages involved in the purchase of a residential property vary according to the circumstances. Key stages include:

- Carry out searches
- Obtain further planning documentation if required
- Make any necessary enquiries of seller’s solicitor
- Give you advice on all documents and information received
- Go through conditions of mortgage offer with you
- Send final contract to you for signature

- Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened
- Arrange for all monies needed to be received from lender and you

* Our fee assumes that:
- this is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction
- this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease
- the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise
- all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation
- no indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.
