Fee Guide
Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the sale or purchase in a timely and compliant manner. Whilst such an occurrence is infrequent, we will inform you if any unforeseen extra work becomes necessary resulting in extra charges. For example, due to unexpected legal difficulties, or your requirements and circumstances significantly alter during the transaction.
Other charges can also apply, for example if you are using a HelpToBuy Scheme, or the property is Leasehold so we highly recommend you contact us for a tailored estimate:

Timescales
The time taken to complete the purchase or sale of your property depends on several factors, for example the number of properties in the chain, the number of mortgage lenders involved, and if there are any Leasehold properties. The current national average is 2-3 months. If you are buying a new build home, with a mortgage, it will typically take 4 weeks.
