Our fees cover all the work required to complete the sale of your property.
They are determined by the value and complexity of the transaction and will also consider any work required to deal with any unusual aspects of the sale.
We offer a standard fixed fee for our residential property transactions where there are no complicating factors (see above).
Our standard fixed fees start at £1,250 plus VAT* and disbursements and increase in line with the value of the property as detailed below.
| Property Value | Our Fee (ex. VAT*) |
|---|---|
| Up to £200,000 | £1,250 |
| £200,001 – £400,000 | £1,500 |
| £400,001 – £500,000 | £1,800 |
| £500,001 – £750,000 | £2,000 |
| £750,000 – £1,000,000 | £2,350 |
| Above £1,000,000 | 0.35% of the sale price |
If your sale falls through before it is completed, we will charge for the time spent to that point. In these cases, our fees will never exceed the agreed fixed fee and charges for dealing with complicating factors.
Additional fees
Additional charges for complicated factors are dependent on the time required. Hourly rates are dependent on the experience of the person handling the transaction and range from £175 to £350 plus VAT*.
We will provide you with an estimate of the total additional charges either at the outset or when we become aware of any complicating factors.
| Disbursement | Estimated prices |
|---|---|
| Copies of Land Registry Title, register, plan and documents | £3 document |
| Transferring funds as a same-day payment (e.g. to pay a debt, mortgage, loan, or legal claim attached to you or your property or to your account) | £57 inc. VAT* |
| ID check | £14.40 inc. VAT* per person |
