Pricing

You see the number before you commit to anything

Our legal fee is fixed and quoted up front. The costs we pay out on your behalf are listed separately at cost, so the quote you get is the whole picture rather than a starting position.

How it works

Two numbers, and we show you both

Our legal fee is what we charge for the work. It is fixed, it depends on the price of the property and what kind of transaction it is, and it does not move afterwards because the title turned out to be unregistered or the buyer's solicitor asked for more.

Disbursements are what we pay out on your behalf - searches, Land Registry fees, the bank transfer, Stamp Duty if there is any. These are not ours and we do not mark them up. They are itemised at cost on the same quote.

Some properties need extra work and we say so up front. A leasehold flat, an unregistered title, a new build, a company buying rather than a person - each adds a set amount, shown on the quote rather than added later.

What we promise

What the quote will and won't do

The point of a fixed fee is that it stays fixed. That only means something if it is written down.

  • The legal fee we quote is the legal fee you pay - it does not change because the file was harder than it looked
  • Every disbursement is itemised at cost, not bundled into a single number
  • Anything that depends on your circumstances is shown before you instruct us, not after
  • Stamp Duty and Land Registry fees are set by government, not by us, and are passed straight through
  • No hourly rates, and no charge for picking up the phone

Questions about cost

What people ask before they instruct

Why not just publish a price list?

Because the honest number depends on things a list cannot know - the price, whether it is leasehold, whether the title is registered, whether there is a mortgage to redeem. A single headline price would be wrong for most people. The quote takes a couple of minutes and gives you the real figure.

Do I pay anything to get a quote?

No. The quote is free, it is yours to keep, and nobody will ring you about it unless you ask them to.

When do I pay?

The bulk of the fee is paid on completion, out of the sale proceeds where there are any. Some disbursements - searches in particular - are paid earlier because we are buying them from someone else on your behalf. Your quote sets out what is payable when.

What is Stamp Duty and do you charge it?

Stamp Duty Land Tax in England, or Land Transaction Tax in Wales, is a tax on buying property. It is set by government and goes to government - we calculate it, submit the return and pass the money on. We do not keep any of it.

Is it cheaper if I am selling a probate property?

The fee is based on the transaction, not on why you are selling. What probate changes is the amount of work involved, and that is already inside our fixed fee - we do not treat the extra probate steps as an add-on.
