Residential Conveyancing FAQs

Straight answers about residential conveyancing solicitors, residential conveyancing fees, and how to get your residential conveyancing quote — whatever stage of life you're moving at.

Pricing

Getting a quote from Triangle Legal Services is completely free, with no obligation to instruct us. It takes about 60 seconds online.

Our quotes are fixed-fee based on the details you provide. The only reason a fee would change is if the information about your property or transaction changes materially, and we will always agree any change with you first.

Your quote breaks down our legal fees, third-party disbursements (searches, bank transfer fees, ID checks) and government fees (Stamp Duty and Land Registry) separately, so you see exactly what you are paying for.

No. We operate on a no completion, no fee basis for our legal fees, so you will not be left with a large bill if the transaction does not complete.

Solicitors, Fees & Services

In practice the terms are used interchangeably. A residential conveyancing solicitor is a qualified lawyer who specialises in property transactions; some firms also use licensed conveyancers, who are a different type of residential conveyancing lawyer regulated by the CLC rather than the SRA.

Residential conveyancing fees usually cover our legal work (the solicitor's fee), plus separate residential conveyancing costs for disbursements like searches and ID checks, and government fees such as Stamp Duty and Land Registry charges. See our pricing page for a full breakdown.

The biggest factors in residential conveyancing costs are your property value, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and whether you are buying, selling, or both. Extras like a Limited Company purchase or a gifted deposit can add small fixed amounts.

Triangle Legal Services works with clients across England and Wales, so you do not need residential conveyancing solicitors near you geographically — everything is handled by phone, email and online. Our office is in Wembley, and our residential conveyancing services are available UK-wide.

The Process
