- Land Registry Copy Title Entries
- Land Registry application fees

We will also explain what things are NOT included in our quote and provide you with a list of potential additional costs with our initial letter. If it becomes apparent that any additional work is required we will make sure you are informed of this at the earliest opportunity.

We will provide you with an indication of the SDLT that is likely to be payable on the transaction. This depends on the purchase price of the property. You can calculate the amount you will need to pay by using the calculator on the HMRC website.
