Busy, stressed sellers and buyers ignore these terms at their peril. Our quotes offer a clear statement of your solicitors fees for a standard purchase or sale.

Many estate agents have arrangements with solicitors where they refer conveyancing clients to them, however, these referrals need to be weighed up against alternatives, as an agent may choose the firm which pays to the largest referral fee, not the best solicitor for your needs.
We strongly advise against any form of stamp duty mitigation. These schemes are often uneconomical and HMRC may challenge a scheme up to six years later meaning that the full stamp duty amount will then be due.
South Cambridgeshire council searches conducted by your Histon conveyancing solicitor during the legal process should verify if the property is inside a designated conservation area proof of planning authority consent for additions to the property will be asked for.
The standard legal protocol is to get Local Authority, Drainage and Water Search (CON29DW or personal) and Environment Search, and specific local Histon searches, like a HS20.
Legally speaking there is absolutely no argument why a home seller cannot decide to handle the greater majority of the your own conveyancing unaided.
In reality however, a property solicitor juggles a huge number of exercises ranging from identifying and arranging appropriate indemnity or checking that the contract package is in order which are more safely handled with appropriate experience. AT any rate legal firms are obliged to take out the correct cover to safeguard you in the event of negligence.
