Partner in the business immigration team at Ison Harrison's Leeds head office, advising employers on sponsorship and corporate immigration.
Conveyancing fees typically range from around £500 to £1,500 plus disbursements (search fees, Land Registry fees, and Stamp Duty where applicable), depending on the property's value and whether it's freehold or leasehold. Most solicitors will provide a fixed-fee quote upfront.
A straightforward chain-free transaction can complete in 6-8 weeks, but the UK average including chains is closer to 12-20 weeks. Leasehold properties, mortgage delays, and slow searches are the most common causes of delay.
Both can legally handle a property transaction. A solicitor is a fully qualified lawyer who can also advise on related legal issues (such as a dispute arising during the sale), while a licensed conveyancer specialises specifically in property transactions, often at a lower cost.
Conveyancing is largely done remotely by phone, email, and online portals, so many buyers and sellers successfully use a solicitor outside their immediate area. Local knowledge can help with unusual issues specific to the area, but it isn't a requirement for most transactions.
