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.
Fast, good and cheap conveyancing
Read our guides on how you can get all three:
Can your parents sell you a property at a discount?
It's perfectly legal for your parents or a close relative to sell you a property at a discount and if your mortgage lender is happy with the arrangement, they can regard the discount as effectively making up the deposit. This is called a concessionary purchase.
You need to be quite clear with your mortgage lender about your intentions and you should also be aware that the more distant the relationship with the seller, the more of a challenge you'll find it is to recruit a lender: you should consider hiring a mortgage broker (click for a free consultation) to help you.
Additionally there may be restrictions regarding matters such as if you intend that the seller should continue living in the property – many lenders will not allow this.
