DISBURSEMENTS

Additional expenses and taxes which are not charged by us but are payable to third parties such as HMRC (Stamp Duty Land Tax).

DISBURSEMENTS ON SALE

Disbursements on a freehold property sale will usually be nominal as most disbursements are payable by the purchaser. Typically, disbursements will comprise fees paid to HM Land Registry for copy documents – usually between £3.00 and £20.00.

On the sale of a leasehold property it is usually necessary to provide the purchaser’s solicitors with a Landlord’s Management Pack which gives details of the buildings insurance cover and the workings of the lease service/maintenance charge provisions. Landlords typically charge approximately £200.00-£300.00 for such packs.

DISBURSEMENTS ON PURCHASE

On a property purchase you will have to budget for:

  • Stamp Duty Land Tax depending on price paid (see calculator at https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/calculate-stamp-duty-land-tax/#/intro ) (for property located in Wales see – https://beta.gov.wales/land-transaction-tax-calculator )
  • HM Land Registration fees – again these are calculated on a sliding scale depending on the price paid for the property (fees usually amount to between £20.00 and £270.00)
  • Land search fees (Local Authority search, Environmental search, Drainage/Water search, Chancel Repair Liability Search) depending on the location of the property and the authority involved usually in the region of £300.00-£400.00 payable to the search providers. Land searches are obligatory if a mortgage is involved. Land searches are not obligatory (but advised) if there is no mortgage
  • If re-mortgaging – lenders might accept an indemnity insurance police in lieu of land searches. Approximate premium payable to insurance company - £50.00 - £75.00 plus IPT
