Disbursements:
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to a third party, such as Land Registry fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
Disbursements associated with the sale of a property are:
- Office copy entries (if the property is registered) price depends on number of documents required approx. £3 each.
- Bankruptcy search £2 per person
- Bank Transfer fee £10 plus VAT for each bank transfer.
If leasehold the following additional disbursements may apply:
- Management pack fee (these can vary but on average are around £450)
- Freeholder information pack (these can vary but on average are around £250)
- Covenant fee approx. £100
The fees quoted are based on the following assumptions, that:
- This is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction
- (If leasehold) this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease
- The transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise
- All parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation
- No indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.
How long does the conveyancing process take for the sale of a property?
How long it will take from you accepting the purchaser’s offer will depend on a number of factors. The average sale with no related purchase takes between 10 and 16 weeks. It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain.
