Our Fees
Price and service transparency – conveyancing (all transactions)
Costs associated with your transaction
We do not want you to have any unwanted surprises during the course of your transaction, so we will give you an estimate of likely costs and disbursements before you decide to instruct us.
Typically, we will agree to a fixed fee with you, but if your matter is more complex or it is difficult to know what will be involved, we may agree to an hourly rate with you.
We know that every transaction is unique, so we will keep you informed if we identify any additional work that will need to be done to conclude your matter successfully.
Fixed fees
Most solicitors charge a fee proportionate to the property’s value, so the cost of the work depends on the agreed price for the property, together with a number of factors, including the complexity of the title and third-party involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
First Time Buyers
Most first-time buyer purchases take around 8–12 weeks, but as each transaction is different, it depends on the chain, searches, and how quickly the other side responds. The good news? A lot of these delays are preventable when your conveyancer is proactive and keeps everything moving.
Read ‘How to Speed up Conveyancing’ on the steps you can take to help the process along.

Nobody likes surprises when it comes to costs, so we will always ensure you are fully aware of the fees involved. We’ll explain what’s fixed and what can vary.
We also offer a no-move-no-fee promise for our first-time buyers, so if your purchase falls through, you don’t pay our legal fee for that transaction, which takes a lot of pressure off.
If you want, we can give you a clear quote with a breakdown you can actually understand or you can read more about costs on our fees section.

First-time buyers often worry about wasting money if the seller pulls out, the survey is bad, or the chain collapses. Our no-move-no-fee promise helps to ease that worry.
What to do next: Instruct us early so we can help you prepare for what you will need to do; the information you will need to gather; and what’s next in the home buying process.
If you’re buying with a mortgage, yes, your lender requires a solicitor/conveyancer to protect their interest in the property.
Even if you could do parts yourself, it’s not recommended, because the legal risk is too great. This is the part that prevents nasty surprises like boundary issues, restrictive covenants, or leasehold problems that can make a property hard to sell later.
Langley Wellington is a CQS accredited law firm, and our Cotswold Conveyancing Centre is a member of the Conveyancing Association, the leading trading body for the conveyancing industry.
What to do next: Book a quick first-time buyer call and we’ll tell you exactly what your lender will require. You can also read, Steps Involved in Conveyancing for related information.
