Builder49 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Any one on here a conveyancer, or know roughly what I should expect to pay in conveyancing costs to purchase a house? Nothing to sell, just a purchase. Thanks in advance, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I will check my paperwork out tomorrow and let you know roughly how much it cost me a year ago but they quoted up front for all searches and their fees so I'd call around a few local companies Be aware though I did that and chose the same firm as the seller so it set me back a few weeks as they only clicked when I completed my paperwork even though I'd provided them the property details when requesting a quote and also accepting them to act on my behalf.

Ricey Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 500-800 depending on complexity, firm and title issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder49 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Straight forward purchase, no upper or lower chain, no mortgage, cash buy. £500 should be expected then? Edited April 22, 2013 by Builder49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 in the same position.... am paying £725 + VAT for the conveyancing then you have stamp duty, land registry and searches was about middle of the road pricing round my way but it was a solicitors that came highly recommended to me by at least three different people so it was a no brainer for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just checked and the solicitor fee was £612 + searches which was another £300 so Ricey is as always on the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sometimes title insurance is acceptable rather than waiting for full searches but depends on the lender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah builder states no loan required so he's good with whatever he feels comfortable with but I'm assuming land registry etc will still be applicable however these are relatively cheap from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder49 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ages since I last bought a house....... last time I paid £375 But you just have to build the fees into your costs i guess? Just seems a decent time to get into developement, prices are pretty low at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a decent time to get into developement, prices are pretty low at the moment. You just need to ensure that the price you are given is the TOTAL price and not just the conveyancers fee. The company I use charge about £1,100 all in for a property purchase which is based on an approx legal fee of £599 plus VAT, plus searches, land registry charges and TT fees etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
