Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the sale of your home, including dealing with pre contract enquiries, obtaining redemption statements, redeeming the mortgage, liaising and paying Estate Agents.

Our fee assumes that:

• this is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction
• this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease
• the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise
• all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation
• no indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.

Disbursements and Recharges are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as Land Registry fees. A summary of likely disbursements and Recharges are as follows-:

Disbursement / Recharge	Cost	VAT
Office Copies	£6.00	£1.20
Copy Lease (if Leasehold)	£3.00	£0.60
Copy Land Registry Documents	£3.00	£0.60
