Why use Brown and Co Solicitors?

Many firms have a “factory approach” to conveyancing in which you are just a “number”. Many clients at these firms complain that they can never get through to the solicitor handling their case and they are left in the dark as to what is happening. We pride ourselves on giving our clients individual attention. We provide both landline and mobile phone numbers to make the solicitor easily contactable and we ensure that we keep you informed throughout the conveyancing process.

Brown and Co has robust internal standards for the completion of work and we enjoy a high approval rating from our customer base.

Brown and Co Solicitors also has robust anti-money laundering procedures to guard against fraud and to keep your money safe.

How long will the commercial conveyancing process take?

The conveyancing process typically takes between 8-12 weeks. It can be longer if certain factors arise, including the following:
  • Issues arise during the search on the property which generate further inquiries (by us or a buyer from the other side) which can take time.
  • You are in a chain. This is when there are multiple people buying and selling their properties and each one is relying on their property being sold before they can move forward with their purchase. If one person in the chain’s property sale falls through, their sale is delayed, and the sale and purchase process will take longer.
  • The property you are buying is older and/or listed and therefore requires more detailed searches of title and careful examination of property reports such as water and drainage.

How much will it cost?

Our fees differ depending on whether the property being sold/purchased is freehold or leasehold and the value of the sale/purchase. Our fees are set out in detail on our fees page.

 

Stamp Duty Land tax

In addition to our fees you may be liable to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax which is a tax that buyers of property in England and Wales are required to pay. There is relief available for first time buyers. We will calculate the Stamp Duty payable and confirm this at an early stage in the transaction.
