my fees

My fees depend on whether or not the property concerned is mortgaged:

	my fee	VAT @ 17½%	total £
Without mortgage	250.00	43.75	293.75
With mortgage	400.00	70.00	470.00

For all purchases – including transfers of equity – the government now requires the buyer to submit a detailed 6-page Stamp Duty Land Tax form. If you wish, I can complete this form for an additional £40.00 (£47.00 inc. VAT).

In addition you can expect to pay Land Registry search fee and Land Registry registration fee:

• If no money changes hands, Land Registry registration fee (Scale 2) applies
• Otherwise the higher rate of Land Registry registration fee (Scale 1) applies.

The transaction could be liable to Land Tax in some circumstances, even though the transfer is not a purchase in the normal sense of the word; I will advise you about this once I know the circumstances.

Full details of all the amounts, and of the whole process, are in a letter that I will send if you contact me.
