What does a Warlingham conveyancing solicitor do?
A conveyancing solicitor plays an essential role during a property purchase transaction, and guides you through the legal side of buying a home.

Warlingham conveyancing solicitors would also undertake checks for issues affecting high-value listed buildings and properties within green belt areas.
Will you be taking out a mortgage?
During the process of buying a house, your solicitor must also complete the legal work on behalf of your mortgage bank.
If your lawyer is not on your bank or building society's panel, your purchase could take significantly longer to complete and also cost more.
We work with lawyers who can represent the vast majority of mortgage lenders, so you can complete your purchase without delay.

What are typical Warlingham conveyancing fees?
On a conveyancing quote, the various costs or charges can be split into two types:
Solicitors' fees
These fees are what your conveyancing solicitor charges you for the legal services they provide for you. Your solicitor's quote should clearly detail the legal fees, including VAT, that you'll pay when your transaction completes.
Disbursements
Your quote should also list any disbursements, which are costs paid to third parties on your behalf, including Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), HM Land Registry fees and property searches.
Check for additional fees
If you are comparing quotes, beware of hidden charges not mentioned in the initial conveyancing quote. Some solicitors' quotes include additional fees in the small print. This can lead to a higher-than-expected final bill.
