Other Terms:
- VAT is applicable to our fees and certain expenses.
- We work hard to ensure that we attain the highest level of standards.
Please note that our fees are based upon certain assumptions as follows:
- It is a straight forward transaction

- There are no Title defects or the Title is not unusually complex
- No issues stemming to be resolved after exchange/completion
- The transaction:
- is not a new build
- is not subject to any affordable home ownership schemes
- is not a transfer of part
- is not subject to any tenancies

Naturally, where the above assumptions are not met (and in particular should your matter become protracted or unusually complex) then, we reserve the right to make additional charges in order to reflect the additional time that is required and/or the additional risk that is borne by the firm.
The above is an estimate only assuming this is a standard, non-complicated transaction. The estimate below is based on the information/your instruction which we have till date. It is not always possible to foresee at the outset the complexity of the matter. We reserve our right to charge you separately at our hourly rate of £200.00, if your matter:
a. gets complicated
b. we spend more than 9 hours working on your transaction
c. if your transaction takes more than 3 months to complete
