COSTS AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Immigration:
The basis of our charges for Immigration works is the Agreed Fee. An Agreed Fee means any
fee agreed between us and the client. It does not include the Visa Application fee and any
other fees payable to the Home Office. The client is responsible for payment of all the visa
application fees and disbursements. The time scale to finish the Immigration work is six
months but may be longer if the Home Office raises some issues. If the immigration matter
becomes contentious and proceeds to the Immigration Tribunal or Court, we shall discuss
with the client and agree again for another Agreed Fee. The Solicitors who have the conduct
of the Immigration matters are highly experienced lawyers with not less than 10 years’

Conveyancing:
The basis of our charges for Conveyancing works is the Agreed Fee. An Agreed Fee means
any fee agreed between us and the client. If we are representing the buyer in a property
transaction, our fee does not include any money for payment of stamp duties, capital gains
tax and costs of searches and registration in the land registry. The client is responsible for
payment of all disbursements. The time scale to complete a transaction is about four months
but may be longer if there are issues to be resolved arising from surveys and searches. We are
not on the Panel of Lenders at the moment and therefore can only represent sellers and cash
