Good to know

Fixed-fee conveyancing is when a pre-agreed price is set for legal services. The price quoted at the start should be the price you pay at the end.

This fixed fee will not include any optional extras. Which is why fixed fee is not considered a cheaper conveyancing option. Your conveyancer should lay out the costs for any additional services in these instances.

The average solicitor fee for buying a house is £1,743, based on the average UK house price of £292,000. This fixed conveyancing fee covers the solicitor’s legal fee. Solicitor fees when selling a house would be around 50% less.

The fee is dependent on the value of the property and the location. Most solicitors will provide a full breakdown of their conveyancing fees. In some cases, they may include certain disbursements, although this is not guaranteed.

Average Solicitor Fees inc. VAT (£) based on property price

  • Up to £100,000: £1,090
  • £100,001 to £300,000: £1,190 - £1,320
  • £300,001 to £500,000: £1,390 - £1,490
  • £500,001 to £700,000: £1,750 - £1,800
  • £700,001 to £1,000,000: £2,000 - £2,160

A solicitor who offers hourly rates will charge customers based on the amount of time they act on their behalf. The main advantage of hourly rates is that the solicitor charges the same rate, regardless of the task.

On the other hand, hourly rates are risky as the final quote can drastically increase, especially when buying a leasehold property. Your solicitor will have extra tasks, such as reviewing the Leasehold Management Information Pack.

Fixed-fee conveyancing may appear more expensive initially as you will receive your initial quote at the start of the process. However, this may work out to be a lot less than hourly rates.

Whichever route you choose, you'll still pay disbursements separately, but make sure you receive a breakdown of the solicitor’s services and fees where possible and try and compare conveyancing quotes through us.

Different from fixed-fee conveyancing, “no sale no fee conveyancing” is a sales agreement from a conveyancer. This means if the sale or purchase of the property falls through, you won’t have to pay their legal fees.

You might still have to pay costs to cover the searches or any other third-party services used. Always confirm with your conveyancing solicitor if they offer a "no sale no fee" guarantee as well as fixed price conveyancing. Read our guide where we break down solicitor fees when the buyer pulls out.

  • Thoroughly read through the quote breakdown so you know what the cost covers
  • Read each item on the quote and query anything you’re unsure about
  • Make sure each company explains what service you will receive
  • Read the Terms and Conditions so you're not surprised by any hidden costs

Conveyancers are responsible for the legal process of buying and selling property. They will guide you through the transaction and explain any legal jargon. Some tasks include drafting contracts, arranging conveyancing searches and liaising with third parties. They deal with leasehold and freehold properties. Learn more about our guide on how to convert leasehold to freehold.

They will make payments on your behalf such as electronic money transfer fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).

If you decide you have chosen the wrong firm, you can change solicitors, but keep in mind that you may lose the funds you have spent.
