drawing documents including a formal legal acceptance of the buyer’s offer and further missives;
providing the titles to the purchaser’s solicitor;

managing the funds from the buyer’s solicitor;
redeeming an outstanding mortgage with the lender and discharging security, where necessary;

We are able to offer fixed fees for residential sale conveyancing, and can provide a full estimate of fees and outlays prior to the commencement of a transaction. Our fees are set on a scale determined by the price of the property being sold. Our typical legal fees for a sale range from £750 plus VAT for simple transactions at a price under £1,000 to £3,000 plus VAT for larger properties with associated complexities. For a property sold at a price of £200,000, for example, the fixed fee for this work may be £950 plus VAT of £190.

Outlays are typically:

£80 for registration of a discharge;
£20 for Advance Notice for title;
£114 for Plans Report and
£135 for title and property searches.
