How long does a purchase take?

A freehold purchase in a straightforward chain typically completes within eight to twelve weeks of instruction, with leasehold purchases usually taking longer. Timing depends on searches, lender requirements and the wider chain.

Do you act for lenders?

Yes, we are on the panels of most major lenders. Where we are not on your lender's panel, we will tell you at the outset.

What is included in your quote?

Our quote sets out our legal fee, VAT and all anticipated third-party costs (searches, Land Registry fees, SDLT). If a matter becomes materially more complex we will discuss any change before charging additional time.

Do you handle leasehold matters?

Yes, including reviewing existing leases on purchase, lease extensions, deeds of variation and enfranchisement.
