Online conveyancing quote

If you are buying or selling a property, you need to know how much the transaction will cost in total. While an online conveyancing quote may give you an idea of some of the expenses, if you call us, we can ensure you have a full list of any additional costs, such as Stamp Duty, search fees and the Land Registry’s fee for registering a property purchase.

We offer a comprehensive no-obligation conveyancing quote, and we can also answer any queries you may have about the conveyancing process.

At Lockings Solicitors, we have many years of experience in the property sector and we regularly deal with complex and time-sensitive transactions.

We have offices in Beverley, Hull and York and represent clients across the country in freehold sales and purchases. We also deal with leasehold sales and purchases and newbuild purchases for local properties.

How much does conveyancing cost?

There is a range of expenses involved in buying and selling a property. As well as legal fees, there are items such as search fees, Stamp Duty, the Land Registry’s fee and telegraphic transfer fees.

If you would like a comprehensive quote, please call us today, and we will go through your particular transaction with you and identify which expenses you will incur.

Do you offer an online conveyancing quote?

Because of the complex nature of conveyancing, we prefer to provide potential clients with a tailored list of figures, rather than offering an online conveyancing quote. This ensures that there are no unwelcome surprises further down the line, as some online conveyancing quote platforms are unable to take all circumstances into account when providing figures.

We can look at issues such as whether you will be receiving a gifted deposit, if the property is leasehold or a newbuild and if any additional documentation is required, such as paperwork relating to solar panels or a Help to Buy loan.

Our quote will be transparent and we will be happy to answer any questions you have relating to the figures.

How long does conveyancing take?

The length of time taken to move house can vary quite widely. It often depends on the size of the chain, as everyone involved needs to be ready to proceed before contracts can be exchanged.

Issues that can hold up conveyancing include:

  • A delay in receiving a mortgage offer – we always recommend you apply as soon as you are able
  • A legal problem that inexperienced conveyancers are not able to resolve promptly
  • A delay in having a survey carried out
  • Issues revealed in the survey that require quotes for remedial works and negotiation of an allowance to cover the cost
  • Not instructing solicitors promptly at the outset
  • Using solicitors who do not chase up outstanding issues regularly
  • Not using a conveyancer who is authorised to represent your mortgage lender

At Lockings Solicitors, we always do everything within our power to minimise the time taken to complete. If your sale or purchase is time-sensitive, feel free to call us today, and we can discuss how to get the ball rolling.
