Fixed Fee Conveyancing for Sellers

What Is Fixed Fee Conveyancing? 

Fixed fee conveyancing means you pay one agreed fee for the legal work involved in selling your home. Instead of an hourly rate or unpredictable charges, you receive a clear, upfront cost that stays the same throughout your sale. 

This approach gives you confidence and peace of mind. You’ll always understand what’s included, what to expect, and how your sale is progressing.  

At HPA Solicitors, our fixed fee covers the essential work required for a successful property sale, from preparing the contract to final completion, giving you certainty when you need it most. 

Why Choose Fixed Fee Conveyancing When Selling Your Home? 

A fixed fee is more than a price structure, it’s reassurance. Here’s why sellers prefer it: 

Predictable Costs From the Start 

Moving home comes with enough expenses. A fixed fee gives you a clear figure upfront, so you can budget confidently without worrying about legal costs increasing. 

No Hidden Extras 

Some firms start with a low headline fee and add charges throughout the process. Our fixed-fee structure is honest and transparent, the price we agree is the price you pay for your legal work. 

Clarity and Control 

Selling a property can feel unpredictable, but your legal costs shouldn’t. Fixed fee conveyancing removes uncertainty and allows you to stay fully informed and in control. 

High-Quality Service Without the Unpredictability 

A fixed fee doesn’t mean cutting corners. You’ll receive committed support from a dedicated conveyancer who manages your sale with the same care and diligence as any hourly-billed service. 

Confidence at Completion 

With your fee agreed upfront, there are no unwelcome surprises when your sale completes. Just a simple, reliable, and transparent process. 

How Our Fixed Fee Conveyancing Process Works 

The conveyancing process follows a series of structured steps, and our team ensures each one is handled efficiently and with care. 

Request Your Fixed-Fee Conveyancing Quote 

We begin by gathering a few details about your property and sale. Based on this information, we’ll provide your bespoke fixed-fee quote, clear, tailored, and with no obligation to proceed. 

Instruct HPA Solicitors 

Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll open your file, complete identity checks, and start collecting the documents we need. From here, your dedicated conveyancer will guide you through the process. 

Preparing Your Contract Pack 

Your solicitor will obtain your title deeds, prepare the draft contract, and complete the standard property information forms. The full contract pack is then sent to the buyer’s solicitor to start the legal review. 

Managing Enquiries 

The buyer’s solicitor may raise enquiries about the property. We handle these promptly and keep you informed, reaching out only when your input is required. Our proactive approach helps prevent delays and keeps your sale progressing. 

Exchanging Contracts 

When both sides are satisfied, contracts are exchanged. The sale becomes legally binding, and your completion date is set. Your solicitor will confirm all financial arrangements and ensure everything is ready for completion. 

Completion Day 

On completion, the buyer’s solicitor transfers the purchase funds to us. We redeem your mortgage (if applicable), notify your estate agent to release the keys, and confirm completion immediately. With everything finalised, you can move forward with confidence. 

Most sales complete within eight to twelve weeks. Our experienced team works proactively to make the process as efficient and stress-free as possible. 

What to Expect When Selling Your Home 

Every sale comes with its own timeline and challenges, but our goal is to give you clarity at every stage. With HPA Solicitors, you’ll always know what’s happening and what to expect next. 

A Clear Process from the Start 

We outline the full process at the beginning, so you understand each stage and how long things typically take. 

Regular, Reliable Updates 

You’ll receive consistent updates throughout your sale. We keep communication simple, straightforward and tailored to your preferred method, phone, email or both. 

Practical Guidance 

We help you prepare the required documents and explain what’s needed to keep your sale moving. Simple steps taken early can prevent delays later. 

Support During Delays 

If delays occur, such as waiting for a buyer’s mortgage or missing paperwork, we work quickly to resolve them and keep you informed at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fixed Fee Conveyancing 

What does your fixed fee include? 

Our fixed fee covers all the essential legal work required to sell your property, from preparing contracts to handling enquiries and completing the sale. You won’t face unexpected hourly charges or hidden add-ons. If third-party fees arise, we explain them clearly before any costs are incurred. 

Are there situations where extra costs might apply? 

Most sellers pay only the agreed fixed fee. Extra costs are rare and only arise in unusual situations, such as missing title documents or complex leasehold issues. If they do, we’ll explain them immediately and only proceed with your approval. 

How long does conveyancing take when selling? 

Most sales complete within eight to twelve weeks, depending on the buyer’s mortgage, the length of the chain and how quickly both sides respond. Our proactive communication helps reduce delays and keeps your sale moving. 

Do you offer fixed fees for leasehold sales as well as freehold? 

Yes. We provide fixed-fee conveyancing for both freehold and leasehold properties. Leasehold transactions may involve additional third-party charges, such as management packs, but the legal fee itself remains fixed and fully transparent. 

What documents will I need to sell my property? 

Typically, you’ll need proof of ID, your title deeds and standard property forms such as the TA6 and TA10 (and the TA7 for leaseholds). If anything else is required, we’ll guide you through it step by step to keep your sale on track. 

What happens on completion day? 

On completion, the buyer’s solicitor transfers the funds to us. We redeem your mortgage if needed, confirm receipt of funds and authorise your estate agent to release the keys. We’ll update you immediately once your sale is officially complete. 

What happens if my buyer pulls out before exchange? 

Before contracts are exchanged, either party can withdraw without legal penalties. If your buyer pulls out, we keep your documents ready so you can move forward quickly with a new offer. We’ll support you with the next steps and help you get your sale back on track.
