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.

Should you pay a 'reservation deposit' to get an offer accepted?
Some estate agents now impose reservation deposits on buyers which ostensibly ensure that a property is taken off the market when an offer is accepted.
As long as reservation deposit monies paid are then deducted from the seller's asking price, this may be regarded as entirely fair, however the terms of any such deposit need to be carefully scrutinised.
If it turns out that the terms indicate that this fee is non-refundable and payable to the estate agent, then it should be questioned from the outset – estate agents should be generating their income from sellers of property, not potential buyers.
