Understanding first-time buyer solicitor fees
We know that as a first-time buyer, one of your biggest questions is: how much is conveyancing? And honestly, it depends on a few things like the price of your new home, whether it’s freehold or leasehold and if Help to Buy is being used.
Our first-time buyer conveyancer fees are always clear and competitive. On average, you can expect online conveyancing to cost somewhere between £500 to £2,500, plus disbursements, which are payments we make to third parties, like search fees or stamp duty. We’ll provide a clear estimate before you move forward and explain any changes that might occur. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for – peace of mind, expert legal help and a smooth journey into your first home.
