At Garrett-Long, our team are experienced residential conveyancing lawyers, helping you with all legal aspects of selling, buying, transferring and re-mortgaging property; we can help eliminate the more difficult aspects of property transactions, whilst using our expertise and knowledge to act on your behalf.
Declarations of Trust
This is an agreement between two or more people about how much each party is entitled to in the event of a sale of the property. On consultation with our property lawyers, we can help you with this aspect of selling.
Transparency
We have a clear, straightforward pricing structure, providing you with a quote before we begin working on a case.

Disbursements is the phrase used for things we “buy in” from outside suppliers in order to do the job for you. On a property sale we would estimate these to amount to approximately £60.00 being Land Registry Fees for copy documents relating to your Title as well as the Anti-Money Laundering Check that must be undertaken. On a Property Purchase these would amount to approximately £400.00 for searches (with the local authority, with the drainage and water authority and for chancel enquiries) and Anti-Money Laundering Checks if there is no related sale where these have already been charged. Additionally there will be Stamp Duty Land Tax and Land Registry fees payable.
