Conveyancing

This is the bread and butter of the business.  It is the reason why most people want to see a lawyer - at least until the credit crunch came along.  Presumably, if you are looking at this, you want to sell or buy and if you were not a valued customer, beforehand you sure are now!

We have changed the way we charge for our conveyancing work.  It isn’t the case that all registered land conveyancing is the same, but the public perception is that it is.  If it is an unregistered property fees reflect the fact that there is often more work to do. Some firms charge for completing Stamp Duty Land Tax returns. We also don’t charge extras for completing SDLT forms or dealing with the mortgage.

We have a simple formula of a fixed fee for all registered conveyancing for our services + disbursements. That will cover 99% of what we have to do in conveyancing matters, though there may be one or two matters where it will be clear from the outset that considerably more work is going to be involved and then we shall give you a reliable estimate as to what you may have to pay.  Otherwise, you can by and large go on the figures in the schedule.

We also prepare Home Information Packs for sellers who want us to do so.
