Conveyancing - What does it cost?

The cost of Conveyancing can be extremely expensive if you don't shop around first!

There is a huge scope of costs involved with the instruction of Solciitors or Conveyancers to deal with the Legal work of buying or selling a Property in the UK. The costs are typically broken down as :

This is commonly known as their 'Time and Effort Cost' - what the Solicitor or Conveyancer is charging for their own service. This is where we see significant ranges of pricing, which may reflect the level of professionalism or service you may need with your case. However, given that most of the legal work involved with a Property Transaction is relativelty simple (but time consuming), you may feel it better to consider other options.

VAT
