Reviewed by Sarah Okafor, ICAEW Chartered Accountant. Informational guide only.

Tax is only one completion cost

Stamp duty, LBTT or LTT can be a major property purchase cost, but buyers should also budget for conveyancing, searches, Land Registry fees, mortgage fees and moving costs.

Why conveyancing quotes vary

Fees can differ by property value, tenure, leasehold complexity, mortgage involvement and whether the transaction is time-sensitive. A low headline fee may exclude common disbursements.
