Breakdown of our Fees:
Purchase Fees £129.00
Mortgage Fee £55.00
VAT @ 15.00% £27.60
Disbursements:
Land Registry Fee £150.00
Land Registry Search £3.00
Land Charges/Bankruptcy Search £5.53
Telegraphic Transfer (TT) Fee £45.00
Total Payable: £415.13

I've just noticed that they were still quoting an out of date Land Registry fee of £150 when it is £200 - that doesn't fill you with confidence.

As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.
