Coops Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Can anyone advise on sensible costs for plot purchase? ADK law just quoted £1500 quid all in...does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 IIRC, we paid ~£800 back in 2012. Used a local firm of solicitors that knew the area, not that I suspect that helped much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Doesn’t sound to bad I think we paid about £1000 three years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the same applies where you are but unless it's complex you shouldn't pay any more than a straightforward house transaction for the same value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours was a purchase of a part of a larger piece of land with a complex title (title needed to be traced back to early 1800s), and the conveyancing cost us £2k. Solicitor said it was actually £4k of work on her part but as she had quoted us £1k, capped her fees at £2k. Not too sure I believed that line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nethermoor Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I was quoted £1200+VAT for a fairly simple land purchase, but got a referral discount down to £950+VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
