The answer to this will obviously vary according to the type of property you buy.

If you are buying a residential property the average price for legal fees in England and Wales is believed to be around £800 (not including VAT).

If you are buying a leasehold property you are likely to pay between £50 - £250 extra as solicitors must carry out more work on leasehold properties.

The way solicitors can charge you will also vary - some will offer you a fixed fee whereas some will charge you an hourly rate.

Before instructing a solicitor it can be a good idea to shop around and get some quotes. If you need a solicitor for any legal work or problem, you can post a job ad for solicitors with LawSpark.
