  • Depends on the deal from the developer, some will pay your fees.

    If using a professional reputable firm of solicitors, expect fees of around £700 for sale and the same for purchase. If using on line conveyancers (I wouldn't) then approx halve that cost. Then add in your disbursements. A frequent visitor here is Richard Webster a conveyancing solicitor. Although he won't give you a link to his site check out https://www.rwco.co.uk where you can get a quote.
