Buying a house can be one of the most important financial decisions we make so you need to instruct someone you can trust. The average timescale is between 8 to 10 weeks    

       FEES ​.    Unlike many firms we do not believe in paying referral fees so less than five percent of our work involves a third party fee. The amount varies but on average it is only £75 as we go by recommendation. 

If for example you are buying at £250,000 :

Legal fees would be £995 plus Vat.

Stamp Duty  £2500 ( We will calculate the figure for you, as may not be payable )

Land registry  £270

Local Search Fee  £111 ( regional variations )

Official Search  £3

Bankruptcy Search £2

Telegraphic Transfer Fee  £35 plus Vat

For sellers at this price, the fee would also be £995 plus Vat , with £9 copy deeds and £35 Bank fee.
