Important notes
- 1Published figures are guides. A detailed quote will be given upon consultation for your specific circumstances.
- 2Unless an inclusive VAT figure is shown, professional fees do not include VAT (20%) or third-party disbursements (for example Home Office fees, court fees, Land Registry fees, searches, counsel or experts).
- 3Conveyancing fees assume a standard transaction without unforeseen complications (title defects, indemnity policies, new build, shared ownership / Help to Buy, auction or bridging matters, etc.). Auction and bridging matters may attract additional costs of £750 – £1,000 + VAT depending on urgency.
- 4If conveyancing work begins and does not reach completion, an abortive bill will be issued for time spent and disbursements incurred.
- 5Fees are subject to change. Confirm current charges with Abbey Law before instructing us.
