Dedicated: We don't believe in call centres. Our clients are served by fully qualified professionals - nothing less will do. We know that the traditional volume conveyancing approach to handling customers does not work.

Service Information

What our price includes

Our price includes all of the work needed to buy your home. This includes registration at the Land Registry and if applicable, dealing with payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax if the property you wish to buy is in Wales.

Obviously all cases are different and we will try our best to inform you as soon as we become aware of any issue that might have an impact on the quoted fee.
How long the purchase will take

The time taken to complete the purchase of your new home depends on several things. The current national average is 2-3 months if there is no chain.

The number of houses in a chain will affect the time it takes. Buying a new build home, with a mortgage, will typically take several weeks longer.

The Council for Licensed Conveyancers has produced useful guides to buying (https://www.clc-uk.org/consumers/home-buying-process/) and selling (https://www.clc-uk.org/consumers/home-selling-process/) which explain the key stages of the transaction.
Referral arrangements

In some cases we may pay a referral fee to an estate agent. The average fee is £80 plus VAT. We will tell you if we are paying a referral fee in your case.
