Fees and Disbursements
Fees
Our fees are based on variety of factors including the value of the property, whether freehold or leasehold or share of freehold, mortgage or funding arrangements, if the property or part of the property is unregistered, and other matters that may be complex e.g. defective title, this could increase the fees for the transaction.
Disbursements
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as Land Registry fees, Search Fees and Fees charges by the Landlord for Management Pack. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
Buying a House or a Flat (Freehold or Leasehold)
Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the purchase of your new property, including acting for you and your lender (if applicable), dealing with the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax, and registration at the Land Registry.
To find out how long a typical house or flat purchase takes, and the stages of the process, please see our Conveyancing page.
