Conveyancing is the legal work to buy, sell or remortgage a property. This estimates those legal fees and related charges.
Why it matters
Solicitor costs are easy to underestimate, especially on leasehold or when buying and selling at once.
When to use it
Use it when requesting quotes, or when you need a ballpark before you instruct a solicitor.
How to read the result
Replace the defaults with your solicitor's quote. Leasehold and combined sale-and-purchase usually cost more.
