Sheffield Conveyancing Fees – What to Expect
The fees for conveyancing cover the legal work involved in buying or selling your home. You can generally expect to incur other costs that are not included in the legal fees, such as the cost of a survey when buying a property, or estate agent fees when selling a property.
When buying or selling a property, you should expect to find that the legal fees are lower for selling a property than for buying one, and leasehold properties usually involve higher fees than freehold properties.
Conveyancing quotes are split into two categories:
- Conveyancing Legal Fees
These are the fees charged for our legal expertise and work. All fees will be clearly itemised and are subject to VAT. - Conveyancing Disbursements
These are payments to third parties that we handle on your behalf, such as Land Registry fees or property searches.
