The Disbursements paid during the conveyancing process when buying a property vary in the following ways:
- Whether the property you are buying has a Home Information Pack (HIPs) containing acceptable search results.
- Whether a mortgage lender is involved who requires additional searches or services for which search fees are payable.
- The price you are paying for your property. Most of the conveyancing fees for a purchase consist of disbursements payable to one government department or another. These tend to be calculated on a fee scale depending on the purchase price of the property. This is the case for the Land Registry Fee charged by the Land Registry to register the property in the buyers name or of course, Stamp Duty Land Tax which applies to properties costing over a certain level on a percentage basis depending upon the price.
- Leasehold purchases often incur additional disbursements payable to the landlord or management agents. Additional legal fees will also usually be incurred when buying a leasehold property.
