All fees are approximate and VAT is indicated where relevant

Please note that your use and interpretation of the Land Registry’s fee scale and HMRC’s stamp duty land tax calculator are at your own risk. We will calculate the fees and SDLT for you when we are formally instructed.
We do not charge any additional fees for Stamp Duty Submission or Help to Buy ISA/L-ISA draw-down.
Additional fees may be chargeable where:

- Financing documents are bespoke, e.g. bridging loans (variable)
- Declarations of Trust (variable)
- The property is Freehold but requires a Management Pack (£200 + £40 VAT)
For all other conveyancing services or where prices are said to be “variable”, we will aim to agree fixed costs before commencing work.
Where the nature of the work required means we are unable to do this, our fees will be based on our standard hourly rates as follows:
- Director – £280 + £59 VAT
- Head of Department – £260 + £52 VAT

How long does Conveyancing take?
The average conveyancing process will take 12-16 weeks. This will, however, depend on several factors.
It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if all buyers in the chain have their mortgages in principle, then this may speed the transaction up
There are many outside factors that can delay completion and conveyancing solicitors can often do nothing about them in a conveyancing process such as obtaining a mortgage offer, the return of search results, delays in getting the replies to pre-contract enquiries, the length of the chain. These are all contributing factors.
However, here at Bradley Haynes Law, we use our expertise and knowledge to do all we can to make the conveyancing process as smooth as possible.
