Our team has over 200 years’ combined experience in assisting clients with all types of residential property transactions
Solicitors in Helston for buying a house.
How much it will cost you will depend on the property and on your circumstances. Our fees start at £675 + VAT but there are other costs you have to pay when buying a property such as Stamp Duty Land Tax, and Land Registry Fees. Email or call us for a detailed estimate. You will need to tell us a bit about the property (value, size, flat or house etc.) and also whether you are buying with a mortgage or not. We aim to provide you with a detailed estimate within 1 working day of you emailing us. Please bear in mind that if you own other residential property upon the day you complete the purchase of this property, you will have to pay the new higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax. If you think this may affect you, please tell us as soon as possible so we can advise you on how much this will be.
Again, this depends on the circumstances, but we find that the majority of transactions complete within 6-8 weeks, sometimes a little longer, sometimes a little sooner. Much depends on mortgage lenders and other people in your chain. We will work closely with you to ensure that timescales fit to your needs.
