In the case of leaseholds, the fee is £175 additional to legal fees as shown in the table above.
For leaseholds, our fee assumes that:
a. 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
b. this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease
c. the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise
d. all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation
e. no indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.

How long it will take from your offer being accepted until the sale of your house will depend on a number of factors, but the average process takes between 6 – 10 weeks.

• Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened
• Redeem any mortgages on the property, pay estate agents if applicable and account to you for net proceeds of the sale
• Complete sale
