For a property sold at a price of £200,000, for example, the fixed fee for this work may be £1100 plus VAT of £220.

Outlays are typically:

£80 for registration of a discharge; (£60 if digital)

Client Comments

I am so glad I found Kippen Campbell! My query was accepted within the same day. Sally McCartney is very knowledgeable and kind. She provided me with valuable advice on my legal matter. I felt in very safe hands with her and excellently represented. I can’t recommend Kippen Campbell’s service highly enough!
