Barnstaple Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
When buying a property in Barnstaple, the large expenditure you intend to make should illustrate how much care is needed to investigate any possible risks and issues that could affect the price of the property.
Ordering searches are essential to investigate any potential threats that may affect the property and its surrounding area. These can highlight issues with radon gas seepage, planning permissions, preservation orders, flooding risks, subsidence and pollution.
Therefore, we highly recommend that you book at least four searches from the North Devon Council: local authority, environmental, drainage and chancel repair.
Even so, your conveyancing solicitor can advise you if any additional searches are flagged up, such as Flood Risk, Mining or HS2 Report.
