Residential Conveyancing Fees - Sales
Please note for properties over £1,000.000.00 we typically charge on a percentage basis which is 0.25% of the purchase price plus VAT, depending upon the complexity of the transaction.
Our fees are dependent on the agreed purchase price of the property, the location and when other complex factors are involved (such as transactions that involve the sale of multiple dwellings or land) to reflect the proportionate risk of carrying out higher-value transactions for our clients. Please contact us to discuss a bespoke estimate Tel: (01524) 386500.
