  Guide to Fees on a Purchase

Our charges                    

Our average standard legal fee for a residential property purchase is £1,500 – £6,000 + VAT. For purchases over £500,001, 0.50% plus VAT of the purchase price.

Our hourly rate for handling a residential property sale matter is £300 – £450 + VAT and will depend on the experience and qualification of your case handler.

Disbursments

• Bank fee                                                        £35 plus VAT (per transfer)
• PII                                                                   £100 - £500 plus VAT (Depending on the value of the transaction)

• Search fees.
• VAT on search 
• SDLT
• Management packs 

If the property you are selling is a leasehold, we will also need to obtain a sale pack from the landlord and/or managing agents who look after the building. The price of these varies from landlord to landlord and, if the landlord’s consent is required for the sale to proceed, there will also be legal charges payable to the landlord’s solicitors.

Stamp Duty Land Tax

The amount payable depends on the purchase price of your property. You can calculate the amount you will need to pay by using HMRC's website or if the property is located in Wales by using the Welsh Revenue Authority's website. 

  Guide to Fees on a Re-mortgage

 The process of mortgaging a property is similar to a purchase in terms of the legal work that has to be carried out for the lender.

• Land Registry fee                                                        (A variable amount depending on the value of the mortgage)

Again, if the property is leasehold, we will also have to obtain a sale pack from the landlord and/or managing agents who look after the building.

  All subject to the amount of work that needs to be carried out.

WILLS & PROBATE FEES:

At TKD Solicitors, we have a long record of looking after domiciliaries & non-domiciliaries in the UK.

We provide help in many areas:

• Tax issues in England & Wales
• Trusts and foundations
• Estate planning
• Probate issues
• Wills
• Protection of assets in relation to marriage

  Probates:

Our fees are based on the Law Society guidelines on probate work which recommend to calculate fees on hourly basis plus a percentage of the value of the UK estate. However, often times here at TKD we would operate on a fixed fee basis. The fixed fee quoted will be determined based on the anticipated hours of work and the exact nature and complexity of the matter. Where you have elected to be charged based on time spent working on your matter or in exceptional circumstances whereby we have not provided you with a quote, the hourly rate will depend on the seniority of the solicitor assigned to your matter.

  Disbursements included in this fee:

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
 
 

• Probate application fee                 £273
• Bankruptcy-only Land Charges Department searches (£2 per beneficiary)

 Potential additional costs:

If there is no will or the estate consists of any share holdings (stocks and bonds) there is likely to be additional costs that could range significantly depending on the estate and how it is to be dealt with. We can give you a more accurate quote once we have more information.

If any additional copies of the grant are required, they will cost £1.50 each

Dealing with the sale, transfer or distribution of any estate assets will be quoted separately.
