Purchase of Freehold Property
Pricing
We know how important cost is when deciding who to use for your conveyancing, so we review our fees on a regular basis, taking into account clients' feedback, so we can make sure we always offer great value.
Our fees cover all the work required to complete the purchase of your new home, including dealing with registration at the Land Registry and dealing with the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax (Stamp Duty) if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax (Land Tax) if the property you wish to buy is in Wales.

Disbursements & Stamp Land Duty Tax
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as Land Registry fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
For your stamp duty tax, this will depend on the purchase price of your property.
Time Scales
For any transaction, the timescales are subject to change depending on when your offer is accepted and factors involved, such as:
- Number of parties in the chain
- Whether you have a mortgage in place
- Whether you are buying a new build property
- Whether you need a lease extension for a leasehold property
A typical transaction will take between 10 and 14 weeks. However, if any of the above apply, or there are other factors we need to take into consideration, it may increase the time by a further 4-6 weeks, and additional charges may occur. We will discuss this with you at the earliest opportunity, so you always have a clear picture of how long things are likely to take.
Key Milestones
With every transaction, there are key milestones, which may vary according to individual circumstances. They may be as follows:
