How Our Hourly Rates Work

Our hourly rates are based on the time our solicitors spend working on your case. This includes all interactions and communications, such as phone calls, emails, and meetings with you. Lawyers track their time in small increments, often in 6-minute (0.1 hour) or 15-minute (0.25 hour) intervals. Each task performed for a client, no matter how brief, is recorded. It is important to understand that every minute counts towards the total billable time, although we do not charge for greetings. It is your responsibility to be aware that our lawyers’ time is chargeable. Efficient communication can help manage your costs effectively. Clients usually receive a monthly invoice that details the work performed, the time spent on each task, and the total amount due, providing transparency and clarity.

Divorce and Family Law

Divorce proceedings are different from financial proceedings in the Family Court but both are connected. Child arrangement proceedings and domestic abuse proceedings are also different.

Divorce costs: our costs are fixed at £1,000 plus VAT (£1,200 inclusive of VAT). These costs do not include court fees or disbursement fees and apply only if the divorce proceedings are not contested and there are no jurisdictional issues; otherwise, costs will be charged on an hourly basis.

Our financial proceedings services are charged on an hourly rate basis, with an estimated quote provided based on the specifics of your case. This ensures you receive a tailored and accurate cost estimate at the outset. Costs in such proceedings are usually based on the complexity of the case and the value of the assets and can range from about £6k plus VAT (if settled at the outset and outside the court) to more than £50k plus VAT. These costs exclude counsel’s fees, court fees, etc.

Child arrangement proceedings and domestic abuse proceedings are also charged on an hourly basis. We usually reduce our hourly rates for victims of domestic abuse who do not have sufficient funds to represent themselves. Please note that victims of domestic abuse who receive public benefits may be eligible for legal aid; however, our services are provided on a private basis.

Residential Property Pricing

In the interests of price transparency and building an ongoing relationship with you in which you trust, we will give you a fixed estimate of costs for conveyancing the outset of the transaction.

Not all transactions are the same and they will often involve various different issues or expectations of the parties involved.

We encourage that you always call us to discuss a transaction, in order that we can give an accurate estimate based on your circumstances. While we have fixed charges for some elements of the transaction, the fee for acting will vary depending on matters such as value, title issues, documents involved and timescales. The fee for acting will also vary depending on the seniority of the solicitor also dealing with your transaction.

Our aim is to charge a fair fee for a service for which you will feel you have received value for money. We do not pay referral fees to estate agents, so no part of our fee pays for any recommendations.

Mortgage Lender Representation Fees (Conveyancing)

Acting for Your Mortgage Lender During a Property Purchase

If your property purchase is funded by a mortgage, your conveyancing solicitor is usually required to act both for you and for your mortgage lender. This involves additional legal work and compliance obligations set by the lender.

At Fard Solicitors, we are upfront about these costs from the outset.

Our Mortgage Lender Fee

Where a mortgage is involved, we charge an additional fee of:

£350 – £450 + VAT

The exact fee depends on:

  • the mortgage lender

  • the type of mortgage finance (e.g. standard residential, buy-to-let, specialist lending)

  • the level of reporting and checks required by the lender

Some lenders, particularly specialist or buy-to-let lenders (for example, Paragon), require more extensive legal checks and reporting, which is why the fee may vary within this range.

We will always confirm the exact mortgage lender fee once your mortgage offer is issued, so you have full clarity before proceeding.

Why Is There a Separate Mortgage Lender Fee?

Acting for a mortgage lender is a separate legal responsibility and typically includes:

  • reviewing and complying with the lender’s detailed instructions

  • carrying out additional searches and checks required by the lender

  • reporting to the lender on the property title and any issues

  • ensuring the lender’s security is correctly registered

Not all conveyancing quotes include this work upfront. Some firms add lender fees later in the transaction. We prefer to be transparent from the start, so you can accurately compare conveyancing quotes and avoid unexpected costs.

Transparent Conveyancing Fees

Our conveyancing quotes are designed to be clear and comprehensive. We explain:

  • what is included in our legal fees

  • which costs are disbursements (paid to third parties)

  • when additional fees may apply, such as mortgage lender representation

If you have any questions about conveyancing costs or mortgage-related fees, our team is happy to explain these in plain English before you instruct us.

Declaration of Trust

If required we can provide this. Charges for this are from £350 + VAT
There is always the possibility that a transaction becomes more complex or protracted for many reasons. Revised estimates would be provided depending on the factors involved.

Our charges include all telephone calls, correspondence, complying with money laundering
regulations and identification requirements, dealing with the preparation and submission of
the Stamp Duty Land Tax return (but not specialist advice if not a straightforward
transaction).

Charges may also be payable depending on the type of mortgage finance being obtained and which lender is being utilised. This is because some lenders (e.g. Paragon) have lengthy additional task lists.
There will also usually be the following payments to third parties:

Search Fees

We usually apply for local authority, drainage, chancel repair and environmental searches, with costs varying between circa £400 to £600. These costs are set by third party agencies. We will advise you of the cost of any further searches that may be needed for your property.

Land Registry

The Land Registry application fees vary according to the value of the property. The Land Registry website provides registration fees information at www.gov.uk/topic/land- registration/data. We will advise you what your registration fee is based on your purchase price.

Bank Transfer Fee

£35 + VAT for same day transfers.

VAT Payable

20% on legal fees and most search fees and other disbursements.

Stamp Duty

The amount payable to HMRC will vary according to the purchase price of your property, who is buying the property and whether you own property already. We will advise you what your tax due is based on your purchase price and other circumstances. There is also a SDLT calculator available on the HMRC website: www.tax.service.gov.uk/calculate-stamp- duty-land-tax

Additional Legal Services

We also offer a range of additional legal services tailored to meet your specific needs. Our pricing is designed to provide transparency and fairness, ensuring you are fully informed of the likely costs from the outset. Please contact us for a detailed quote tailored to your unique situation.

VAT Exemption

VAT is only charged on client matters where the client has or has had residency in the UK. Non-UK resident clients are exempt from VAT on legal costs. The current VAT rate is 20%. We will assess whether you qualify for VAT exemption at the start of your matter and inform you of any changes should your residency status change during the conduct of your matter.
