The exact fee we charge will vary depending on the complexity of your matter, however, we will always agree with you before accepting instructions from you how much the fixed fee will be. Below, we have provided an indication of the range of charges that are likely to apply for a range of different immigration matters:

Land Registry Fee

Residential Sales Costs

Mortgage or Remortgage Costs

VAT

We are not VAT registered and currently we do not charge VAT. All prices shown on the website are exclusive of VAT. Normally, the standard VAT rate is 20%. We will confirm whether VAT (at a rate of 20%) is payable when we have been instructed and can work out if VAT is properly chargeable. Charging VAT in relation to immigration matters can be complex as it may depend on where you live and what immigration permission you have got.

If at any stage our fees change, we will notify you and discuss the reason for any changes. This would typically occur if you change your instructions or your case involves an unforeseen complexity. Our average fees assume that: The transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise. All parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation. For Leasehold matters this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease. No indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.

Disbursements and Other Costs

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as Land Registry fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. You will be provided with a full list of disbursements in our formal quotation. If you need to incur any further disbursements during your case, you will be notified in advance of the reason and the amount.
