Our Fees
We have set out the information below to help you understand the costs to you from probates and buying and selling property with us.
Graham Dawson & Co takes pride in providing a personal and professional service to our clients and all our work is undertaken by highly-experienced, qualified professional staff.
Please read through this and contact us if you have any questions. You can call us on 01322 55 88 11.
Probate Fees
We offer two different levels of service. In the first we obtain probate and fully administer and distribute the estate and in the other we only obtain the grant of probate or letters of administration and then the executor or the administrator administers the estate.
Our fees for these two levels of service are as follows:
Probate and Letters of Administration only
Where there is not any inheritance tax to pay £590 plus VAT.
Where there is inheritance tax to pay £900 plus VAT.
Full Estate Administration including obtaining probate/letters of administration
Where we undertake the whole process our fee is based on an hourly rate of £230 plus VAT. The number of hours to be spent on the administration of an estate can vary considerably depending on such matters as the number and type of assets. We shall provide a written estimate once we know the basic details of the estate before we commence work.
All work is done by a chartered legal executive who is a member of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP) and is supervised by a solicitor.
To discuss it with us please telephone us on 01322 55 88 11.
Conveyancing Fees
We know that you want to know what the whole property buying or selling process will cost you.
To guide you, we have set out below a general indication of likely fees and payments based on experience and our knowledge of the conveyancing process in the tables below.
Just as every property is unique, no two transactions are identical. They take more or less time for all the different elements of any sale or purchase to fall into place. That is why we will speak to you to get the details and we will provide you with a full written estimate before we commence work for you.
To discuss your sale or purchase with us so we can give you more advise on the likely costs, please call us on 01322 55 88 11.
