A conveyancing quote should set out the legal fee, VAT, searches, Land Registry charges, bank transfer fees and any expected third-party costs. Check whether it is genuinely fixed or lists extra charges for matters such as a mortgage, leasehold property, gifted deposit or title problems. Ask whether the quote covers the whole transaction and what happens if the purchase or sale falls through. Comparing itemised quotes from regulated solicitors or licensed conveyancers can help you judge the total likely cost, rather than choosing on the headline fee alone.
