Residential Conveyancing – What our fees include
When we provide a quote for our Conveyancing services, the figure provided will cover all of the work required to complete your transaction. This includes paying your Estate agent’s fees, should you instruct us to do so, redeeming your current mortgage, should you have one, and dealing with registration of your purchase or change of ownership at the Land Registry. We will also complete your Stamp Duty Land Tax application and pay any associated fee to HMRC on your behalf, or Land Transaction Tax application if the property which you purchase is in Wales.
The fees outlined below are built in to our online quotation software. Should you wish to obtain a quote fully tailored to your individual needs,

We have also outlined additional costs which you can expect to pay on your transaction. These costs are known as ‘disbursements’ and are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties; a typical example being costs paid to the Land Registry. We will deal with these costs as and when required and they will then be itemised on the final completion statement which we will provide. It should be noted that Land Registry registration fees vary according to the property value. A registration fee will be payable to the Land Registry on any property purchase, remortgage or transfer of equity transaction. We will confirm the applicable fee prior to completing your matter.
Depending on the purchase price of your property, Stamp Duty may also be payable. You can calculate the amount you will need to pay by using HMRC’s website, or if the property you are purchasing is located in Wales, by using the Welsh Revenue Authority’s website.
