A conveyancing quote usually covers the solicitor’s legal fee plus VAT and separate disbursements, such as Land Registry, search and bank transfer fees. The total cost can vary depending on whether you are buying, selling or remortgaging, and may be higher for leasehold property, shared ownership or a more complex transaction. Check whether the quote is fixed and ask for a full breakdown, including possible extra charges, before instructing anyone. Comparing quotes from solicitors regulated by the SRA can help, but the final cost depends on your circumstances and the work required.
