Exclusions
We do not offer tax advice. and we would recommend you seek advice from an independent mortgage broker or financial adviser.
We do not carry out valuations on the property you intend to buy and this is usually conducted by your new lender (if applicable).
We do not charge or pay any referral fees i.e. some solicitors pay a referral fee to an estate agent or mortgage broker for your instructions and this is included in the fee you would pay.
When will there be additional costs, if any? There may be factors which would typically increase the cost of the fees estimated above. Where there is likely to be any additional cost, we will make sure you are informed of this at the earliest opportunity and a clear estimate of those extra costs will be provided.
Factors that may lead to an increase in cost include:
- If a legal title is defective or part of the property is unregistered
- If crucial documents we have previously requested from you have not been provided to us
- If you require an exchange of contracts within 6 weeks of instructing us
- If you require completion within 6 weeks of instructing us
- If you require a simultaneous exchange of contracts and completion
Timescales
For any transaction, the timescales are subject to change depending on when your offer is accepted and other factors involved, such as:
- Number of parties in the chain
- Whether the buyer has a mortgage in place
- Whether the buyer requests that the term of the lease is extended on a leasehold property
- Whether the searches flag up any issues
- Whether the buyer’s Survey shows up any issues
- Buyer’s Enquiries
A typical transaction will take between 8 – 10 weeks. However, if any of the above applies or there are other factors we need to take into consideration, it may increase the time by a further 4-6 weeks and additional charges may occur. We will discuss this with you at the earliest opportunity, so you always have a clear picture of how long things are likely to take.
