What are the conveyancing costs?
Atherton 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.

Can you save money on stamp duty?
You are liable to pay stamp duty if you are buying any property – or percentage of a property (shared ownership) – which is valued at more than £125,000. If you own 2 properties, then you start to pay stamp duty on any second home which is worth more than £40,000.
Some companies have been known to offer stamp duty mitigation schemes which ostensibly claim to use tax system loopholes to minimise stamp duty owed. Although such schemes may look tempting:
- they are likely to be expensive;
- the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) has declared these schemes unethical and has forbidden its solicitors from taking part in them; and
- HMRC are constantly examining such schemes; if it examines such a scheme that you've paid money into and rules it illegal, you'll not only have to pay your full stamp duty but you'll lose any money you paid to the company in charge of the scheme.
