1.
The Conveyancing Practice. Your conveyancing will be carried out by one of our panel Solicitors in England and Wales. Because there is no need for personal meetings it is not necessary that the law firm should be near to you or your clients. Contact between yourselves and the law firm will take place by email, letter or telephone.

2.
Conveyancing Contact. Your point of contact will be the actual Conveyancer carrying out the transaction on your behalf. Contact can be made by letter, telephone and email. After instructing us you will receive the standard Client Care letter which will outline the costs involved, the process itself and the Direct Dial number of the individual acting on your behalf.

3.
Completion Timescale. It depends upon a number of factors. For example: how long the chain is, whether people have existing or new mortgages to obtain, and most important, how quickly information is provided by the other side. In general terms we would suggest you expect a period of six to eight weeks - if you require a quicker service please let us know and we will try our best to assist you.

4.
Conveyancing Disbursements. These fees are payable to the various organisations and are not part of your clients legal fees.

Search Fees. The fees charged vary between local authorities with some charging less than others. The £150.00 fee is what we estimate to be the average. If the fee we are charged is less than this amount we will credit the difference or complete the Stamp Duty Land Tax forms on your behalf..

Telegraphic Transfers. We charge these at £35.25

Coal Mining Search. If the client lives in a mining area, it may be necessary to carry out a mining search to confirm that the property is not affected. This will cost £24.00.

Drainage Search. It is also possible that either your Building Society or the conveyancing solicitor will insist that a water search be carried out. This will cost £47.00.

Bankruptcy Search. It is also usual to carry out bankruptcy searches - these searches will cost £2.00 per person.

Environmental Search. Again depending upon the area you may wish to have an Environmental Search carried out. This will cost £47.00

Registration Fee. We charge the amount as detailed by the Inland Revenue. For further information on this matter please refer to; www.landreg.gov.uk

Land Registry Search Fee. The cost of this is £4.00

5.

Further costs. If the client is buying a leasehold property or there is a share of the freehold involved there may be an extra charge of £75 + VAT to deal with the managing agents. Additionally in certain situations where a Management Company is involved or the property is Unregistered the Practice may need to charge an extra amount. Should this be the case the cost will be detailed within the initial Client Care letter.

6.

Fees not charged. Archiving, Acting for the Lender or Indemnity contributions.
