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.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Poundbury using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned these may in turn flag up other areas of concern, such as Japanese Knotweed, for which you may be advised to take out an indemnity insurance policy.
Japanese Knotweed is a plant which spreads and grows prodigiously and can break through concrete and brickwork. Even after eradication treatment has been carried out it can reappear years later. A free Hazard Alert automatically identifies if the property you're looking to buy is in an area of low, medium or high risk, based on data from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
Based on the Hazard Alert findings, you can order an insurance policy to help protect future buyers and lenders in the event that Japanese Knotweed is identified on the property within 5 years.
If Japanese Knotweed is flagged as an issue you should check the seller’s property information form (section 7) [click to find out more] when they are sent through as the sellers state whether the property has been affected by Japanese Knotweed.
