Disbursements

When buying or selling a property, there are always charges that we have to pay on your behalf to third parties such as management companies or local authorities.  These are called “Disbursements” and may include;


Stages of buying or selling a property

Although each transaction is unique – the stages are generally the same:

1. Formally instruct us – we’ll need to verify your identity and ensure all the correct forms are completed.

2. For sales, we send a contract pack to your buyer.  For purchases, we wait to receive the contract pack from your seller.

3. For sales, we respond to any enquiries from your buyer.  For purchases, we carry out searches and ask enquiries of the seller.

4. For purchases, we produce a report for your property and for your mortgage.

5. When everyone is happy with all aspects of the transaction, we exchange contracts.  For sales, we wait for the buyer to send through the deposit and for purchases we send the deposit to your seller. 

6. On completion, for sales, we wait for the money to be sent by the buyer, pay off any mortgages and return the remainder to you.  On purchases, we send both your payment and your mortgage money to the seller.

7. Finally, for purchases, we register the property and ensure that the Stamp Duty Land Tax is paid.

Transaction Times

As of December 2018, government figures stated that the national average time for a transaction is 16 weeks. However, in 2019, this figure had risen to 19 weeks, and since the middle of 2020 it is estimated to be longer than that although no figures are available.

Naturally, we are considerably faster than this – whilst in usual times, we would expect the process to take us about 6-8 weeks, the property industry is currently experiencing extreme levels of congestion.  This affects our timescales and as of October 2020, we are estimating 12+ weeks for our transaction times.

Introductory Fees

We have financial arrangements with some introducers but we absorb these costs and do not pass them onto our clients. 


Legal Expertise

We employ 23 lawyers, and 23 legal assistants, with an estimated total experience of over 270 years experience between them.


Complaints Procedure

Clients have the right to complain to us and to contact the Legal Ombudsman if they are dissatisfied with our handling of their complaint.

Further information is available in our Complaints Procedure. 

Please note that we will never send you our bank details via email. If you receive an email requesting a bank transfer you think may be from us, please contact us immediately and please do not send any funds to the account details listed in the email.
