Our Residential Conveyancing Costs

No matter what legal assistance you require, Enoch Evans LLP always recommends that you speak with a member of our specialist team in order that a quote can be personally tailored to your specific circumstances. Please call us on 01922 720333 (Walsall), 0121 355 2336 (Sutton Coldfield) or email property@enoch-evans.co.uk.

We are proud to say that we do not enter into any Referral Fee arrangements with Estate Agents, Mortgage Brokers or other third parties. This allows us to remain completely independent and to only have our client’s best interests at the forefront of the service that we provide.

Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the Sale of your existing property or the Purchase of your new home, including dealing with registration at the Land Registry and dealing with the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax (Stamp Duty) if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax (Land Tax) if the property you wish to buy is in Wales.

Our standard fees are calculated on the high level of service that we are proud to provide to our clients. Our view is that, by charging a fair fee, we can help you with your property transaction by providing additional value such as progress updates as often as possible, supported by our quality service, experience and legal advice.
