The Property Team

Our conveyancing services are provided by solicitors, executives and support staff as appropriate.  All members of our Property Team have over 20 years experience and we believe in providing a personal and professional service at all times.

A typical timescale for a residential property transaction is between two to three months. On exchange of contracts (usually occurring 4-6 weeks from commencement of the transaction) a deposit of, usually, 10% of the purchase price will be payable.  On completion of the transaction, usually 2-4 weeks after exchange of contracts, the full purchase price plus Stamp Duty Land Tax, Land Registry fees and our fees and disbursements will be payable in full.

Our fee quote covers all aspects of the transaction including, on a purchase, the post completion work of filing, on your behalf, the Stamp Duty Land Tax Return and registration at HM Land Registry.   Please note, however, that this fixed fee will not cover any tax advice or trust document, which can be quoted for separately if requested.

If you have any initial queries please feel free to call us and we will be happy to advise.
