The types of searches required will be specific to your property. Stamp Duty and Land Tax will depend on the purchase price of your property. You can calculate the amount you will need to pay by using HMRC's website of if the property is located in Wales by using the Welsh Revenue Authority's website.

During the course of your transaction we will advise you if and when any issues arise that may require any costs or fees over and above the standard fixed fee or, any additional costs to those of which we were aware at the time of giving you the initial quote. We will then seek your agreement before proceeding to incur any additional costs.
Timescales for sales, purchases and transfers
How long it will take from offer to completion will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 8 - 12 weeks.
It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain and the extent of those parties' circumstances. For example, if you are a first time buyer, purchasing a new build property with a mortgage in principle, it could take between 3 to 4 weeks. However, if you are buying or selling a leasehold property that involves a lease extension, this can take significantly longer, between 8 to 12 weeks, for example. In such a situation additional charges may apply dependant upon the work involved.
Stages of the process
The precise stages involved in the sale or purchase of a residential property vary according to the circumstances. However, below we have suggested some key stages that you may wish to consider:

Applying for a grant, collecting and distributing assets
It is always difficult to provide meaningful estimates of our likely charges for obtaining the Grant and administering an estate as the amount of work can vary considerably from case to case. The exact cost will depend on the individual circumstances of the matter. For example, if there is one beneficiary and no property, costs will be at the lower end of the range. If there are multiple beneficiaries, a property and multiple bank accounts, costs will be at the higher end.
We anticipate that the average costs for obtaining Grant of Probate and administering a straightforward estate will take between 6 to 8 hours work at £220 per hour plus VAT. Total estimated costs are therefore within the region of £1,300.00 to £1,800.00 excluding VAT and disbursements.
We anticipate that the average costs for obtaining Grant of Probate and administering a more complex estate will take between 12 to 15 hours work at £220 per hour plus VAT. Total estimated costs are therefore at £2,600.00 to £3,500.00 excluding VAT and disbursements. These estimates are provisional and not fixed. We will review this estimate and keep you informed if it appears that the estimated figure will be exceeded.
We will handle the full process for you. This quote is for estates where:
Please note that there are likely to be potential additional costs if there is no will or the estate consists of any share holdings (stocks and bonds) or business assets, if additional copies of the grant are required. We can give you a more accurate quote once we have more information. If we need to deal with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate, this is not included in the fee estimate and we will provide you with a more accurate quote once we are aware of the value of the property.
Timescale
On average, estates that fall within this range are dealt with within 9 to 12 months. We can provide a more accurate timescale once we are fully aware of the circumstances of the matter.
Applying for a grant only
Our costs in applying for a grant only are fixed at £800 plus VAT.
As part of our fixed fee we will:
Please note that the fixed fee does not include work to obtain the relevant documents to make the application or considering any paperwork relating to the assets of the estate. It is expected that you will have collated all the relevant documents and provide us with a summary of the assets in the estate so that we can prepare the necessary paperwork.
Timescale
On average, we would estimate that it would take between 2 to 3 months to obtain the grant on your behalf. We can provide a more accurate timescale once we are fully aware of the circumstances of the matter.
