What are the conveyancing costs?
Essex 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.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
Property searches are so important when purchasing a home because they contain so much information about the property in terms of if there are any threats or risk which affect the property and its surrounding area that could even influence whether or not you will purchase it.
Searches can highlight if there are any issues with preservation orders, planning permission, radon gas seepage, smoke orders, liability to the church for repairs and even flood risks
Therefore we recommend that you order the 4 main searches you need from the Essex County Council when buying a home: local authority, drainage, environmental and chancel. These in turn can flag up other searches which are suggested such as flood, mining and, very importantly, the HS2. Your conveyancing solicitor can advise you on these.
