Please be aware that the estimate of fees is based on a number of assumptions about your transaction.


Our standard fee scales work on a number of assumptions, namely;


1. The property has a good and marketable title. This means that ownership can clearly be evidenced, that the title deeds include all appropriate rights that are required for the use of the property and there are no restrictive covenants that prevent or impact the current use of the property.

2. That the property receives acceptable pre-contract search results undertaken with the local authority, the water authority, and the environment agency.

3. That there are no tenancies of the property that are to continue after completion and that the property is being sold with vacant possession.

4. That there are no ongoing disputes

5. That the other party to the transaction are independently represented by another solicitor or conveyancer

6. That any mortgage is a standard mortgage from a known high street lender that subscribes to the CML Lenders handbook

7. That the purchaser is not a company or an overseas entity and that the funding of the transaction has originated in a UK bank account.

8. That the property is registered at the land registry on one title or, if currently unregistered, is demised in one Conveyance or transfer.

9. That the property is freehold or a standard residential long leasehold title (for which a leasehold supplement will apply)


Where these assumptions are not met and the transaction proves to be more complex then we must reserve the right to increase our fees. We will contact you to explain any increase and supplemental charges. Many of our transactions do proceed at the standard fee scale rate but unfortunately, there are occasions where this fee is not commensurate with the amount of work that needs to be undertaken.
