Being Transparent
Since 6th December 2018, our regulator, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, has required that all law firms publish their fees and pricing in certain areas of law in which we deliver legal services.
Our fees for sales, purchases and re-mortgages of residential properties in England & Wales are charged at a fixed rate for our standard service.

Key stages and timescales
For a sale or purchase there are usually two key stages, being exchange of contracts and then completion. On exchange the parties become legally committed to the sale/purchase and the completion date is fixed.
All the usual pre-contract searches and enquiries need to be undertaken and any necessary mortgage finance obtained before exchange of contracts takes place. A deposit, usually 5-10% of the purchase price, will be payable by the buyer on exchange of contracts.
On completion the balance of the price is paid to the seller and the buyer takes possession of the property.
It is normally possible to have all the pre-contract work completed and be in a position to arrange exchange of contracts within about 4 weeks from when we have received all the contract papers we need from the seller’s solicitor. The completion date is a matter for negotiation between the parties, depending on their individual circumstances, but 2-4 weeks after exchange of contracts would be typical.

Our team has significant experience providing specialist advice to property owners on a wide range of property matters, and has particular expertise of working with high net worth individuals, particularly in terms of property investments and buying and selling high value properties.
