We aim to be as transparent as possible with our legal fees. Fees vary dependent on the price of the property you are purchasing / selling. You can view our pricing chart here.
The average process takes between 12 – 16 weeks. It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. Leasehold properties tend to take longer due to there being more complex legalities to sort through before the transaction can become legally binding. Your specialist legal advisor will be able to guide you through the process and will keep you updated each step of the way.
If your buyer / seller withdraws from the transaction you will need to let your Solicitor know as soon as possible. Dependant on how far through the transaction you are at this time, you may well be charged for the work your Solicitor has done up to that point.
A standard Lease is usually 99 years however this can vary from as short as 40 years to as long as 999 years. It is important that you are fully aware of the lease length before committing to a purchase.
A Freehold property means once you purchase the property, you also own / are responsible for the land your property is on as well as the property itself. It is important you understand the implications of purchasing a Freehold Property before committing to the transaction.
A Leasehold property means you are only leasing the land / property for a stated number of years. Due to this you will normally have to pay either monthly or yearly service charges as part of the building’s maintenance costs. It is important you check and understand the implications of purchasing a Leasehold Property.
