What are the conveyancing costs?
Hertfordshire 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.
Fast, good and cheap conveyancing
Read our guides on how you can get all three:
When should I sort out council tax and water rates?
You should close your accounts for council tax and water rates when you exchange and you should similarly get in touch with the appropriate authorities for your new property at this point too.
Don't forget that if you're buying a freehold property, you should put in place buildings insurance to run from the point of exchange as you're then responsible for the structural integrity of your new property.
If you're buying a leasehold, the freeholder normally covers buildings insurance in a block policy which you'll contribute towards in service charges but you should ensure that this is the case.
