How much does conveyancing cost in Stamford?

When comparing solicitors' fees, conveyancing quotes may include several unfamiliar terms and concepts:

Legal fees

Your solicitor's quote will set out the legal fees (inc. VAT) that you pay when the property transaction is complete. Conveyancing fees are paid to your conveyancing solicitor for the work they carry out on your behalf.

Disbursements

Your conveyancing quote should also itemise required third-party costs, or disbursements, such as Stamp Duty and property searches.

Are the conveyancing fees fixed?

Some firms may include additional charges in their terms and conditions, leading to an inflated final bill. Beware of hidden charges not mentioned in the initial conveyancing quote, when you compare conveyancing quotes.
