Andrew Jacobs Conveyancing provides legal services to the house and property market. Whether you are buying a house for the first time, moving home, selling or buying land and buildings in either the residential or commercial sector, we can carry out the legal work for you.
By selecting one of the below links you can obtain a guide to the fees we charge and budget for the transaction on which you are about to embark.
We aim to be competitive with our fees and do not expect to be the cheapest on the market nor to be the most expensive. They are set at a level to reflect the service we try to achieve and hope at the conclusion of your matter you will feel you have received value for money.
In addition to our fees most transactions incur standard additional expenses payable to third parties. These are called disbursements and arise more so when buying a property than when selling. We have set out the disbursements likely to be incurred.
If you have been introduced to our firm by a third party such as an estate agent or financial adviser we may have an arrangement with them whereby we pay them an introduction or referral fee. Details will be set out in our initial letter of engagement. This does not affect the fees we charge you. In such circumstances it means that this firm earns less than we would otherwise do if you approached us directly.

Because the title to the property is leasehold the Lease (and possibly the title) will impose certain administrative duties such as serving Notice of Transfer and Mortgage. The Freeholder and/or Management Company will make a charge for dealing with such requirements. These charges are unlikely to be known until the transaction is well underway so you should allow in your budget for such expenses. We would recommendthat you set aside £500.00 but the final cost could be higher.

* You should be aware that these fees are strictly speaking an estimate. Whilst we have no reason to suppose at this stage that there should be any reason why the fees should exceed the estimate there are occasions when transactions prove unexpectedly difficult and hence the costs increase. This firm's policy is to reserve the right to charge additional fees in extreme cases which warrant an additional charge however this is the exception rather than the rule and we are happy for you to budget for the fees stated. Should circumstances arise where additional fees are warranted we will of course discuss this with you in detail.
