will also have to pay for 'disbursements' - that's items like
search fees and other charges which we carry out on your behalf
(we will tell you what these are from the start). For leasehold
properties there's an extra charge of ₤100. For larger
transactions our fees are 0.15% plus VAT. For example a
transaction of ₤500,000, our costs would be ₤750.

Purchase of Property
This is a
guide to the work we will undertake on your behalf in connection
with the purchase of a property:
You will be kept in regular
touch with progress of your matter
We will respond to
telephone calls, faxes and e-mails on the same working day
or, if this is not possible, on the next working day.
Letters will be answered
within three working days of receipt.
You will be informed
promptly and in advance of any unusual or unanticipated
expenses.
Bills, completion
statements and copies of any land charge certificates will
be sent promptly.
Any money due to you will
be sent on the day of completion or, if this is not
possible, on the next working day.
We write to the
seller's solicitors requesting a draft contract and
papers.
On receipt of the papers, we will review and make
appropriate searches and raise appropriate
"enquiries" about the property and the contract.
We will make enquiries as to any covenants
(restrictions or obligations) which affect the
property. We will want to make sure the seller does
own the property and has "good title" to it.
We consider the terms of the contract and whether
they are fair to you. If they are, we will "exchange
contracts" with the seller's solicitors.
If you are obtaining a mortgage to assist you with
your purchase, we will make sure that instructions
have been received and a satisfactory offer is made.
We check that any conditions attached to the
mortgage offer can be complied with before
completion.
We make any further enquiries about the seller's
ownership of the property before completion.
We make all appropriate title searches before
completion.
We apply to your mortgage company for the mortgage
money in good time before completion. We may need to
give them a "report on title" to satisfy them that
your title to the property is sufficient to secure
the mortgage.
On the day of completion, which is the day you can
move in, we make arrangements for the payment of the
purchase price to the seller's solicitors and obtain
documents proving titles.
After completion we make sure that all appropriate
stamping and registration at H.M. Land Registry is
completed.
Finally, the deeds are sent to the mortgage company
or to you as appropriate.
Throughout the transaction, any estate agents
involved will be asking us for information and we
deal with them on your behalf.

When we deal with your sale and
purchase of your properties we are able to co-ordinate the
transaction and offer a reduced fee.
