Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant transactions most people ever make. Our Bromley conveyancing solicitors guide you through it with fixed fees, clear timelines and regular updates — so the move is the focus, not the legal paperwork.
Local searches with the London Borough of Bromley are routine for us, and we know which questions to ask of leaseholders, freeholders, management companies and developers active in the area. We also have working relationships with many local estate agents and mortgage brokers, which can smooth the chain.
We offer transparent fixed fees for standard residential transactions. The quote includes our legal fee, all expected disbursements (such as Land Registry fees, local authority search fees, bankruptcy searches), VAT, and a contingency note for known variables (such as leasehold management packs). You will receive a written quote before instructing us — no surprises later.
For a standard freehold purchase with no chain complications, completion typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from instruction. Leasehold, new-build and chain transactions usually take longer. We will give you a realistic estimate at the start and update you as we go.
A good conveyancing solicitor is one you barely notice — until the day the keys arrive.
Total cost depends on the price of the property, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and whether a mortgage is involved. As a rough guide, total fees for a standard freehold purchase (legal fee + searches + Land Registry + SDLT where applicable) commonly sit in the £1,200–£2,500 range plus stamp duty. We will give you a fixed written quote up front.
On a standard residential purchase we order a local authority search (with the London Borough of Bromley), a drainage and water search, an environmental search, and a chancel check, plus bankruptcy and Land Registry priority searches. Additional searches may be ordered depending on the property (e.g. mining, flood, leasehold management pack).
Often the lender will instruct your solicitor to act for them as well, which is more efficient and saves duplication. In some cases (e.g. certain specialist lenders) the lender uses a separate solicitor — we coordinate with them on your behalf.
Exchange of contracts is the point at which the deal becomes legally binding — neither party can back out without serious financial consequences. Completion is the day you get the keys and the money moves. Exchange and completion are sometimes simultaneous but usually a short period apart.
