Disbursements on a purchase
Please note that, subject to the relevant rules in operation at the time of your purchase and the value and nature of your purchase (i.e. whether you are a first time buyer or if you are purchasing a buy to let property), you may be required to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax on your purchase. This is not classified as a disbursement and we will advise you on your tax liability, if any, upon receipt of your instructions or specific enquiry.
Please note that our search and service providers often increase charges at little notice and so the disbursements quoted below are subject to change. We update this website as soon as possible following any such change.
Typically, the following searches are required for a purchase (all charges are inclusive of any VAT or insurance premium tax):
|
Local Authority’s current search fee (if Blackpool, Wyre or Fylde) |
£122.70 inc VAT |
|
Drainage and Water search fee |
£79.50 inc VAT |
|
Environmental search |
£71.40 inc VAT |
|
Land Registry priority title search |
£3.00 no VAT |
|
Bankruptcy search - £2 per seller named on the Register of Title |
£2.00 no VAT |
|
Land charges search - £2 per seller named on the Register of Title |
£2.00 no VAT |
It may transpire through the course of your purchase that further searches are required, but this is not typically so and most of our purchase matters complete having undertaken only the searches listed above.
You will have to pay a fee to register your property.

Re-mortgages
We charge £500 plus VAT for acting on a re-mortgage.
Our disbursements are limited to the Land Registry searches of £3 per document (there is no VAT on Land Registry charges) and typically the total cost of these is between £6-£15 depending on how many documents are registered and whether the property being re-mortgaged is freehold or leasehold. Most lenders normally permit the purchase of no search insurance rather than undertaking new searches and this costs, inclusive of insurance premium tax.
