GUIDE TO POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL LEGAL COSTS
(RESIDENTIAL CONVEYANCING DEPARTMENT)
During the course of your residential transaction additional legal costs may be necessary which we are unable to include in our original estimate because the need for such additional matters does not usually arise until the transaction is commenced and “underway”. It is not possible to cover every eventuality but we set out below estimated additional legal costs which may be incurred that most commonly arise.
