Things to Know About Conveyancing Fees
Is the Quote Fixed?
It's important to ask if the quote provided is fixed. A fixed-fee structure ensures that you won't face any unexpected costs during the conveyancing process. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we offer fixed-fee conveyancing, so you can rest assured that the price you're quoted is the price you'll pay, with no hidden surprises.
Will I See Additional Fees Being Charged?
While some firms might appear cheaper upfront, additional fees can sometimes be added for tasks such as local searches, disbursements, or other legal work. Always ensure you understand what is included in the initial quote and what may be charged separately. We provide a full breakdown of costs from the beginning, so you're always in the loop.
What If My Property Falls Through?
The property market can be unpredictable, and deals can fall through for a variety of reasons. Make sure to ask if your firm offers a "no move, no fee" guarantee. This means if the deal collapses, you won't be liable for paying the conveyancing fees. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we offer this option, ensuring you are protected if things don't go as planned.
Am I Protected with No Move, No Fee?
With our No Move, No Fee protection, if your property transaction doesn't go ahead, you don't pay the legal fees. This is crucial for buyers and sellers who want peace of mind and to avoid unnecessary expenses in case of a failed sale or purchase.
How is My Money Protected?
When dealing with large sums of money, such as deposits and purchase prices, it's essential to ensure your funds are protected. All reputable conveyancers are regulated by either the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) or the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we do not hold your money on account, and all our partner law firms are fully regulated.
Other Important Things to Consider
Is the Firm Regulated?
Always check that the firm you're working with is regulated by a professional body. In the UK, this is typically the SRA or CLC. This ensures that the conveyancer is bound by professional standards, which protect you in case something goes wrong during the process.
Do I Have a Direct Point of Contact?
Communication is key when it comes to conveyancing. Having a dedicated conveyancer who handles your case from start to finish ensures a smoother process. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we provide a dedicated point of contact, so you can always speak to the same person.
Is My Conveyancer Local?
Having a local conveyancer can be beneficial, as they'll be familiar with Lincolnshire's property market and specific local council processes. However, with the rise of online conveyancing services, it's no longer necessary to choose a local firm if you prefer convenience.
What Sort of Reviews Does the Firm Have?
Before committing to any conveyancing firm, it's essential to check their reviews. Look for testimonials on independent review sites and verify their reputation in the industry. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we are proud of our positive reviews from satisfied clients.

Firms in scope
£1,075
Median freehold purchase

Publishing fees
£550 - £1,450
Published range
12 of 24 firms in Lincolnshire publish their fees (50%). The median freehold purchase fee is £1,075, which is £215 below the national median of £1,290, across 12 firms publishing fees.
The cheapest published fee we found is £550 at BUCKLES SOLICITORS LLP. The dearest is £1,450 at ROYTHORNES LLP. Every figure is the firm's own legal fee, excluding VAT, with disbursements such as searches and Land Registry charges billed separately on top. Each one carries the source page it was read from and the date we checked it.
Local firms publish fees across freehold purchase (14), freehold sale (11), leasehold purchase (9), leasehold sale (6), remortgage (8) and transfer of equity (1).
Paying more does not buy a better experience. Firms under £900 average 4.32 stars, £900–£1,199 average 4.29, £1,200–£1,499 average 4.37, £1,500–£1,999 average 4.37, and firms above £2,000 average 4.39. Double the price buys seven hundredths of a star. Be careful with that though: a Google rating measures client experience, not legal quality, and it cannot see the complicated transactions that justify a higher fee in the first place.
12 firms in Lincolnshire do not publish prices we could read. That does not make them worse, but you cannot compare them without ringing round.
Regulatory data is supplied by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, which does not endorse this site or any firm listed on it. Where a firm publishes nothing we could read, the profile says so and gives the domain and the date we checked.
