What does a typical conveyancing transaction involve?

It is sometimes useful to see an indicative estimate on a “typical” conveyancing transaction. We treat each conveyancing transaction as standalone so there is rarely a “typical” transaction but even so we have provided information of likely timescales and charges of:

  1. A typical residential freehold property
  2. A typical residential leasehold property
  3. Re-mortgage of existing residential property

The table below provides examples of our charges on typical transactions based on the property value. Please contact us for a bespoke estimate including information about other costs involved (known as disbursements).
