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.

Conveyancing Costs Explained

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 important is the title plan?

The title plan of the property you're looking to buy shows you the full outline of that property's legal boundaries. Given that your solicitor will not physically visit the property, it's well worth you checking to see that what's on the plan agrees with what you think you're buying.


It's not uncommon for buyers to think, mistakenly, that a piece of land on the side of a house belongs to that house or that, say, a garden on the other side of a hedge will be theirs: if the legal title to the land doesn't include the item or feature, you have to assume in the first instance that you won't own it.
