There are two additional components in the sale conveyancing legal fee:
Mortgaged Transactions
Small additional fee for extra work dealing with mortgage companies, ensuring your mortgage is paid off and fully redeemed before the property passes, and all charges released.
Leasehold Transactions
Small additional fee for extra work dealing with third parties, such as managing agents, plus additional queries from purchaser’s solicitors.
A small fee to verify your identity – a legal requirement for all solicitors to prevent money laundering. This compliance check is mandatory but the cost is minimal.
HM Land Registry charges a small fee for providing official copies of your property documents and plans. Your buyer’s solicitor needs these to verify legal ownership before completion. For leasehold properties, fees are higher as we need documents for both the lease and the underlying freehold.
Occasionally, issues arise during the sale that require additional expenses, most commonly indemnity insurance. For example, if your property has an extension without clear Building Regulations approval, your buyer may require insurance to protect against future objections. This coverage primarily protects them when they eventually sell the property.
