Below is a range of pricing information based on the property's value so you know what our fees are likely to be. For an exact quote please call us on 0800 012 9085 or through the form.

The above fees don't include VAT, which will be charged at the applicable rate. The pricing range is for guidance only and is an estimated cost for a standard transaction. Should non-standard elements be required or complexities arise, then additional fees may apply.
The fees cover only the legal costs and don't include third-party expenses ("disbursements") or any applicable taxes. Disbursements cover items such as conveyancing searches and registration fees and will vary depending on your circumstances and the type of transaction. Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) (payable to HMRC) may also be payable in addition to your legal costs and disbursements. For a tailored quote, please call our dedicated enquiries team, who can give anticipated disbursement costs and an estimated SDLT calculation.
Our conveyancing services are "fixed-fee", meaning we do not charge based on the time it takes us to do the work, i.e. it is not charged at an hourly rate. On occasion, additional charges will arise, but these will also be a fixed price. Our residential conveyancing team will advise you of any extra charges that may apply when providing you with a tailored quote.
