Additional Pricing Information
Examples of things that influence costs that might be reasonably known at the outset are
- Leasehold
- Shared equity
Examples of additional costs that may be incurred –
- If we need to obtain copies of planning or building regulation documents from the local authority
– we will pass the cost on but will not make any charge ourselves for this. - If we need to obtain a copy of a NHBC certificate – we will pass the cost on but will not make any charge ourselves for this.
- If we need to obtain a copy of a FENSA certificate – we will pass the cost on but will not make any charge ourselves for this.
- If we need to arrange an indemnity policy (e.g. breach of covenant or failure to obtain planning/building regulations) to cover a defect in the title of a property – we will pass the cost on and make a charge of £50 plus VAT for arranging it.
- If the property involves a management company, then commonly we will need to obtain information from that management company. We will pass on to you the charges that are made by that management company. In addition, we will charge you £175 plus VAT for the additional work involved in dealing with that.
- If circumstances arise whereby completion is less than 7 working days after exchange of Contracts, then we will charge you an early completion fee of £100 plus VAT.
- If you are selling a property subject to an existing tenancy, then we will charge you £150 plus VAT for the extra work involved.
- If we are required to pay off more than one debt secured on your property or to be involved in the discharge of other debts than we will charge you a fair amount depending on the extra work involved, not being less than £100 plus VAT. If a Help to Buy charge then it would be a minimum of £495 plus VAT
- If the title to the property you are selling is unregistered, then we will charge you £200 plus VAT for the extra work involved
- If a situation arises whereby a deed of variation of some sort is needed with a third party, then we would charge you for the extra work involved. It is not possible to say in a general sense what that would cost as such work would be dependent on the circumstances. We would charge you a fair amount dependent on the amount of work involved however, as a guide, a straightforward deed of variation would be £250 plus VAT
- If we need to draft a statutory declaration then the cost will depend upon the work involved but will be a minimum of £150 plus VAT
- If you are selling part only of what you own then there will be additional costs involved in drafting the documents. The amount will depend upon the work involved.
This list is not exhaustive. It is simply to give some examples. Please note that where the cost we are passing on does not already include VAT we will in most cases be required to add VAT on to it.
