What Our Clients Say…

After my mum passed away Rees Page provided a seamless service from dealing with the will, the probate process and marketing and selling mums property.

Ours was a particularly complex case with 3 executors (myself and two siblings) all living in three different countries, and all wanting to be consulted throughout! Rees Page handled this situation with respect and discretion. Communication was good throughout.

I highly recommend both the Estate Agents and Solicitors.
Jacqueline Ruth

To give you an idea of the various costs involved we’ll take the example of a property valued at £148,689 – which according to Land Registry figures is the average price of a property in Wolverhampton as of July 2018 – where a one half interest is being gifted.

Solicitor’s Fees £900 plus VAT of £180

These cover the cost of the legal work involved in the transfer of equity.

In the case of leasehold properties as these involve much more legal work we make an additional charge of £200 plus VAT.

Bank Transfer Fee £30 plus VAT of £6

We make this charge only where we need to send money electronically as part of the conveyancing transaction

Referral Fee £0.00

We don’t believe in buying business – clients choose to use us because they like the quality of our work, the speed of our service and the ability to talk directly with the solicitor dealing with their purchase – so you don’t have to pay us more so that we can pay third party referral fees

Mortgage Fee £250 plus VAT of £50

If you are taking a mortgage from a lender who is member of UK Finance – all of the major high street banks and building societies are members – we charge this fee to reflect the additional work involved. The fee may vary if your lender is not a member of UK Finance.

If yours is a leasehold property we will need to give the Landlord notice of your mortgage following completion. The notice fee payable to the Landlord will vary dependant on the development and we won’t know the amount of this until we have been able to investigate the title and raise enquiries

Disbursements

These are the fees that have to be paid to third parties in respect of searches and registration fees which are a necessary part of the conveyancing process:

Local search £82.74
Mining search £35.65
Environment search £67.32
Drainage search £69.98
Land Registry priority search £3.00
Land Registry registration fee – varies dependent upon whether the transfer is subject to an existing mortgage but at least £30
Bankruptcy search fee – only payable where you are putting a new mortgage in place or transferring subject to an existing one – £2 per person
AML search – £4 per person.

Search fees vary dependant on the location of the property.

Stamp Duty £0.00

Normally stamp duty wouldn’t be payable where the interest in the property is being gifted. We’ll let you know how much stamp duty is payable in connection with your proposed transfer as part of our detailed quote but have assumed for the purpose of this illustration that you are a first time buyer.
