What are the conveyancing costs?
Dorchester 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.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
Buying a home can be a large investment in itself. The high value of the property should indicate the degree of care needed to investigate if there are any risks or threats to the property and the surrounding area that could affect the value of your investment.
Ordering searches from the Dorchester Town Council is the best way to reveal if there are any hidden secrets or possible issues with the property. These can include pollution, subsidence, planning permissions, preservation orders, radon gas seepage, liability to pay money to the church for disrepair and flooding risks.
We always recommend you book at least four searches; environmental, local authority, drainage and chancel repair. These may flag up additional recommended searches such as Mining, HS2 and Flood Risk Report which your solicitor can advise you on.
You can find out what searches you need when moving home by reading -
