Conveyancing Fees

At Spoor & Co, we pride ourselves in providing a personalised service at a competitive price, and aim to be transparent in our fee structure and disbursement list in order to keep our estimations as simple as possible.

As individual transactions are often different, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your circumstances so that we can provide you with an accurate estimation from the outset.

Be wary of cheaper online quote calculators as they often come with a list of ‘Additions’ or ‘Extras’ which you may not realise will relate to you.
