Possible factors affecting fees
Sometimes, extra work comes up during your sale that we could not have predicted at the start. If that happens, it can affect our legal fees or any third party costs you need to pay.
If costs do change, we’ll let you know straight away so you’re always clear on where you stand.
Examples of what might increase costs include:
- You are purchasing a share in a property jointly owned by a housing association (shared ownership)
- The property is newly built
- The property hasn’t been registered at Land Registry
- You are taking a mortgage from a non -high street lender
- There are problems with the title deeds
- The term of the lease needs to be extended
- We need to prepare additional deeds as required by the landlord
- You are using the Government’s Help to Buy equity loan scheme
- You are using a Help to Buy ISA/Lifetime ISA bonus
- We have to pay a referral fee to the professional who referred you to us
