Hi all,
I'm in the process of buying my first house and obtained a quote from a local solicitor of £725 "all in."
I've now received their pack through the post and the fees outlined are quite a bit more than this. Would anyone mind telling me whether these fees look reasonable? I have no friends or family who have experience at buying a house.
Legal costs: 495
VAT: 99
Local Search: 68
Mining Search: 51 (if it's relevant it's an old mining town.)
Water Search: 51
Land Reg Search: 3
Land charges search: 2
Bank Transfer Fee: 48
Registration Fee: 95 (if capable of registration through Land Registry Portal) I don't know what this means.
Any comments would be extremely helpful!
