To qualify, you must refer to the code SEARCH or PROMO150 when requesting or agreeing your quote. The Promotion is only valid where your written quote expressly refers to code SEARCH or PROMO150.

If your quote does not expressly refer to SEARCH or PROMO150 in writing, our usual fees and disbursements will apply.

The Promotion does not apply to:

  • Sales
  • Remortgages
  • Transfers of equity
  • Any other transaction type unless specifically confirmed in writing

The Promotion is available to clients who instruct us directly. It does not apply if you have been referred to us by an Estate Agent, Broker, Broker Network, or Conveyancing Panel   and is not available in conjunction with any other offer, discount or promotion.

c) What Is Included

For the purposes of this Promotion, “Standard Searches” means:

  • Local Authority Search

d) Maximum Discount

The maximum discount available under this Promotion is £150 plus VAT.

If the total fee charged by us for the Standard Searches exceeds £150 plus VAT, any amount above £150 plus VAT will be payable by you.

Important: The Promotion only applies if your purchase transaction proceeds to legal completion.

If your transaction does not proceed to completion for any reason and we have ordered or obtained any searches, you will be responsible for paying our full fee for those searches.

g) Interaction with Our Terms of Business

All other fees and disbursements are governed by our Terms of Business.

You will receive our Terms of Business with your initial paperwork. By signing and returning our Acceptance of Terms of Business and Authority to Act, you agree to those terms.

We reserve the right to charge additional legal fees and disbursements in accordance with our Terms of Business where applicable.
