We will always provide an estimate of our legal fees for the sale or purchase of a residential property with a registered title, including disbursements, before we start work for you.
Our fees cover the work usually required to complete the purchase or sale of your residential property. This includes, in the case of a purchase, dealing with registration at the Land Registry and with payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax (Land Tax) if the property you are buying is in Wales.
