Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the sale of your property and, if you have one, the repayment of your mortgage. In addition there are other expenses (called disbursements) that you may have to pay.
Disbursements are costs, such as Land Registry and any other expenses, related to your case that are payable to third parties. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. The disbursements which we anticipate will apply are set out separately below.
Usual disbursements on a sale are:-
- Land Registry fee: usually £10 or less.
- Bankruptcy Search: £2 per person.
These fees vary from property to property and can on occasion be significantly more than the ranges given above. We can give you an accurate figure once we have sight of your specific documents.
There will be a charge of £30 (including VAT) for each electronic money transfer fee. Usually, on a sale it will be necessary to repay your mortgage by this method. There would be a second charge if you wish the net proceeds of sale to be paid to you this way rather than by cheque.
