What are the conveyancing costs?
The solicitors' fees for handling your conveyance vary dramatically 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.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

How can you avoid being gazumped?
Gazumping is still a persistent problem in England & Wales' property market. It's pretty awful to have set your heart on a property you've had an offer accepted on only for the seller to pull out before exchange of contracts. The question is, what can you do about it?
One possible solution is to get an Exclusivity Agreement with a non-refundable deposit. You agree one with your seller at the point you have your offer accepted and then the seller can't accept higher offers.
These can slow down the conveyancing process, however, as both your and the other side's solicitor will want to review exactly what's being agreed.
Call us on 0207 112 5388 if you'd like to discuss this option and to find out more, click on 4 ways to protect yourself from being gazumped
You are also protected from the legal costs of your sale falling through by our No Sale No Fee Policy (click to find out more).
