Unbeatable Conveyancing Fees from the Nation's Fastest Solicitors
Solicitors’ Conveyancing Fees can vary by £100's, and comparing Conveyancing Fees can quickly become overwhelming. Solicitor’s terms and conditions (the small print when you instruct a Solicitor) contain many hidden Conveyancing Fees and extras that make it very difficult to calculate what the legal work for your home sale or purchase will actually end up costing you on completion.
Conveyancing Fees - finding the best deal
Weighing up Conveyancing Fee quotes can be a difficult due to the number of additional Conveyancing Fees often concealed in the Solicitor's terms of engagement. It can be especially difficult to determine which of these will apply as they are often technical or described in a purposefully confusing manner.
Conveyancing Fee 'quotes' vs ‘estimates’
The temptation when putting Conveyancing Fees side by side is to only focus on the “headline” price. If the quote is described as an 'estimate' (you will have to look into the terms to find this out) them there is nothing contractually binding the Solicitor to adhere to the 'quoted' price. Therefore your final bill may end up being substanially higher.
In reality, the majority of online or offline ‘quotes’ are actually ‘estimates’ riddled with hidden Conveyancing Fees.
How do some Solicitors get away with charging hidden Conveyancing Fees?
Typically they justify these concealed Conveyancing Fees by claiming that they relate to 'non-standard' elements of the conveyancing process.
Who decides what is and isn't a standard or routine part of conveyancing? This point is open to interpretation and paves the way to unscrupulous practice.
The following are a small sample of so called 'non-standard' Conveyancing Fees that are in fact part of the normal conveyancing transaction when buying or selling a home:
- Admin Conveyancing Fee
- TT Fee (electronic transfer of funds)
- ID/Online ID Fee
- Bankruptcy Search
- Contribution to professional indemnity
- Acting for Lender Conveyancing Fee
- Less than 1 working week between exchange and completion
- Mortgage offer review fee
- SDLT completion/submission fee
