What are typical Farnborough conveyancing fees?
Conveyancing solicitors fees
These fees are what your conveyancer charges you for the work they carry out on your behalf. Your conveyancing solicitor's quote should clearly detail the legal fees, including VAT, that you pay when the property transaction is complete.
Conveyancing disbursements
Your quote should also list any disbursements, which are costs paid to third parties on your behalf, including Stamp Duty and Land Registry fees.
Check what's included in your quote
Make sure you question any charges not set out in your initial quote, if you are comparing conveyancing quotes. Some solicitors' quotes list extra charges in the small print. This can lead to an inflated final bill.
