As stated previously, there may be additional fees, and examples these and/or disbursements (payments which we pay to third parties on your behalf as part of the conveyancing process) are outlined below.

The length of these legal processes can vary from start to finish. Accurate timescales will be given after initial consultations have taken place on your individual case.
Exceptional Circumstances
This website provides examples of the average costs and fees involved with these types of legal matters. But each client has their own set of circumstances and so there will be occasions when exceptional circumstances add to the complexity and time taken to reach a conclusion. We will always keep you fully informed of any change in costs and circumstances and explain why, too. In these situations, our fees may exceed those quoted above, but we will notify you in advance if we need to exceed an original estimate.
