How much does conveyancing cost?

Conveyancing costs depend on the transaction type, property value, tenure and lender requirements. The quote tool shows the VAT-inclusive legal fee as the primary figure, with disbursements and any VAT breakdown shown separately before you decide whether to instruct.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are third-party costs paid as part of the conveyancing process, such as searches, Land Registry fees and bank transfer charges. They are separate from our legal fee and are explained in your quote where they apply.

Do your quotes include VAT?

The quote page presents VAT-inclusive totals as the main figure wherever possible. Where a legal fee is shown before VAT, the VAT amount and combined total are shown together so you can see the real cost clearly.
