Pricing Structure

 

Our fees are based on the hourly charge-out rates of the fee-earning staff appointed to your case and the amount of time they spend working on your case. All of our fee earners – Solicitors, Trainees and Paralegals have standard hourly charge-out rates which are reviewed each year. The more senior and/or experienced the individual, the higher the hourly rate. The more junior and/or inexperienced the individual, the lower the hourly rate.

When we do offer a fixed fee we will be very clear about the amount or type of work that the fee will cover. This will be set out in our initial letter to you and can be as simple as a list of work that is included in the fee and a list of work that is not included in the fixed fee. In almost all cases where we work to a fixed fee, we reserve the right to charge additional amounts if the circumstances of the case materially change. This would be an unusual outcome but there are circumstances where to progress your case or to bring it to a conclusion, we need to undertake work that was not envisaged when we first quoted the fixed fee. In these circumstances, we would always discuss and agree with you on any additional charges before undertaking the additional work.

In all cases, we will do our utmost to provide the best possible information on our fees at the beginning of the case, at regular intervals throughout your matter and its conclusion. At Sharif McKenzie, we understand that every person’s case is unique.  To give you the best possible information on our costs and the different options available to you, we would invite you to get in touch so that we can discuss your particular case and give you the best possible information.

There are particular types of cases where the Solicitors Regulation Authority requires us to publish more detailed information on price and service. We have outlined some of our prices below and more certainty around the key stages of these matters.

We have a very experienced and dedicated team with 10 years of experience in UK-based residential and commercial conveyancing. Our experienced solicitors can advise on most commercial matters, including commercial property. A large percentage of our conveyancing work is from returning satisfied clients (over 30%), and from recommendations or referrals from estate agents.


We have excellent customer and introducer feedback on our service demonstrated by returned client questionnaires and also our high 4.7/5 stars (Trustpilot). We believe we are the best in the industry and have the best staff, systems, clients and reputation to prove it.


We also know what a stressful time moving can be so as a firm we take on fewer cases to enable us to look after your individual needs so that we can provide you with a bespoke service. We only employ the best Conveyancing staff who have experienced and knowledgeable assistants supporting them. The Conveyancer will handle your case from beginning to end so your point of contact will not change and you will receive consistent communication and not be passed from one person to another.


If you receive any other quotes from other solicitors, we offer a free service whereby we can check these for you to ensure that all anticipated costs are accounted for.


For example, if you are purchasing with a mortgage, you might not have been charged for all the searches that your lender requires. Sometimes a fee for dealing with your mortgage will be applicable (we do not charge this) but you may not be informed of this until you receive your invoice for completion of the transaction. Similarly, if selling a leasehold property, a leasehold supplement may be hidden in the small print.


We set out below some of the reasons why we consider ourselves to be the UK’s number one conveyancing firm:-

  1. We offer complete transparency about our fees.

  2. We regularly achieve fast completion times.

  3. A large percentage of our work is from repeat business, recommendations from friends/ family who have used us previously or from estate agent referrals / national builders who refer to us as they know we have an established track record of providing an excellent service.

  4. We provide fixed fee quotations for our clients and a full breakdown of costs upfront so that our clients will have knowledge of the exact costs involved in the transaction.
