Property Sale Fees

At Taylor Rose we always put you first

Property Sale Guidance

Our fees cover all of the work* required to complete the sale of your home.

We are required to charge VAT. VAT is a government tax that we are required to charge, and will usually be added at 20% to our fees and disbursements, except where we indicate the disbursements are outside the scope of VAT. The fees listed are our average fee ranges for a sale transaction. The fee (including additional fees and disbursements) may vary depending on the source of the instruction, your solicitor’s experience and location, the property price and what work we are required to do.

Legal Fee: £399 - £5,000 (+20% VAT of £79.80 - £1,000).

  • Leasehold: £150 - £300
  • Telegraphic Transfer: £49.50 + VAT
  • Islamic Mortgage (Redemption): £500 + VAT
  • Limited Company Sale: £250 (+20% VAT of £50)
  • ID/AML Checks: £49 + VAT per person
  • Office Copies: £85 + VAT

Amount of average referral fee paid £150.

Please note this is our average referral fee. This fee will vary depending on the source of the instruction.

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as management packs (if applicable). We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. 

Please note the fee range will vary depending on the work required. Factors which may increase the fees charged include:

  • If the property is leasehold;
  • If there is a referral fee;
  • If you wish for us to expedite your transaction;
  • If we cannot meet you in person  and will need to complete an electronic ID check;
  • If you are a non-UK resident.
  • Please contact us for a quote tailored to your particular transaction.

Please contact us for a quote tailored to your particular transaction.

The length of time between instructing us (once receiving an offer on your property) to moving out of your property will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes 12-14 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain and the timeliness of each party’s responses and returning documents. For example, if you are selling a property that is leasehold, we will need to apply for the management pack; this can take significantly longer depending on the timeframes of the individual management company. Another example would be if you are selling a property with structural issues such as subsidence, this can take significantly longer than 6-10 weeks and in such a situation, additional charges would apply.

The precise stages involved in the sale of a residential property vary according to the circumstances; however below we have outlined the traditional stages we carry out on a standard sale.

  • Take your instructions and give you initial advice;
  • Check finances are in place to fund any related purchase (if applicable);
  • Respond to any pre contract enquiries;
  • Obtain a copy of the Title and prepare a contract to send to purchasers Solicitors;
  • Collate information on fixtures and fittings and send to purchasers Solicitors;
  • Respond to any raised enquiries;
  • Receive transfer and arrange signature with you;
  • Arrange an exchange and completion date;
  • Obtain redemption statement from any relevant Lender to settle any outstanding amount on the mortgage;
  • Transfer any remaining money from sale to the seller.

  • This is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction;
  • The transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise;
  • All parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation;
  • No indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required;
  • You are referring to us directly and not through a panel or agent where referral fees may apply, these will be disclosed to you in our client care letter.
