Conveyancing fees key takeaways:
- Conveyancing fees cover the legal costs and disbursements of buying, selling, or remortgaging property
- Legal fees typically range from £1,000-£2,500 depending on property value and complexity
- Disbursements are third-party payments your conveyancer handles on your behalf
- Some transactions need extra work - your conveyancer will explain any additional fees upfront
What influences conveyancing fees?
Property price
High-value properties typically cost more due to increased complexity and responsibility for your conveyancer. Most firms scale their fees based on property price.
Freehold vs leasehold
Leasehold properties involve extra work, such as reviewing lease terms and management packs. This additional legal work usually means higher fees.
Buyer vs seller
Buying typically requires more legal work than selling – including property searches, mortgage coordination, and detailed checks.
Complexity factors
New builds, gifted deposits, and shared ownership require additional legal work and documentation. These transactions typically involve extra fees.
Typical conveyancing costs
You’ll likely come across varied pricing when researching conveyancing.
While you might find cheaper alternatives, our service focuses on combining expert legal support with modern technology to make your move as smooth as possible.
At Eden, we believe quality conveyancing requires proper time, attention, and expertise. Our fees reflect the level of service you'll receive - from dedicated support throughout your transaction to award-winning technology that keeps you informed every step of the way.
What are disbursements?
Disbursements are expenses that your conveyancer pays on your behalf throughout the conveyancing process. They're added to your final payment.
They could include, but are not limited to:
- Search packs (local, drainage, environmental)
- Transfer fees
- Bankruptcy search
Why are they separate to legal fees?
Disbursements are third-party costs your conveyancer can’t control – they’re set by organisations like the Land Registry and local councils. Separating them gives you transparency about what you’re paying for legal work versus essential checks and searches, helping you compare quotes fairly.

Cheap conveyancing vs quality service
Low-cost firms or “cheap” conveyancers handle high volumes with minimal personal attention. What looks like a bargain often comes with hidden costs and delays.
Risks of budget conveyancing:
- Hidden fees uncovered throughout the process
- High caseloads cause delays and poor communication
- Difficulty reaching your conveyancer when it’s most important
Why quality matters
Buying or selling a home is one of, if not the biggest transaction you’ll ever make involving complex legal work and financial risk. Missed deadlines or overlooked issues can cost thousands.
Quality conveyancing means dedicated support from professionals who have time to handle your case properly and communicate clearly throughout the process.
