1. If you elect to use this website for your conveyancing, these are our obligations to you:
    

   • We have entered into a commercial agreement with our chosen solicitor’s firm (the ‘solicitor’s firm’) who carry out the conveyancing work for clients of easylawyers.

2. Exceptions to fixed legal fees
    
   The legal fees quoted on this website apply only to standard conveyancing work. They do not apply to legal work which may be required beyond the usual conveyancing services. For example, dealing with defective title or tenants in the property will not be covered by the legal fees quoted.
    
3. Fees payable to other parties
    
   The legal fees quoted are the only element of the final price over which we have control. We do not control payments to third parties (disbursements) such as Value Added Tax, Stamp Duty, Land Registry fees, fees for searches and so on. Consequently we cannot guarantee that such payments will not rise or fall in accordance with government policy or the policy of the particular organisation.
    
4. Buyers or sellers situated outside England & Wales
    
   The legal fees quoted include standard postage and telephone costs within England & Wales. If you are situated outside England & Wales postage and telephone costs will be added to your bill.
    
5. Cancellation
    
   Subject to paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2, you have the right to cancel the conveyancing service for any reason at any time up to completion.
    
   1. If you have requested and paid for the no-completion-no-fee option you will not have to pay legal fees incurred up to the point of cancellation. You may, however, still have to pay money which has been paid on your behalf by the solicitors firm such as search fees. The fee for no-completion-no-fee protection remains payable.
       
   2. If you have not paid for no-completion-no-fee option and you wish to cancel the conveyancing service you will have to pay a fee proportionate to the amount of work which has been carried out up to the point of cancellation. There is a minimum cancellation payment of £50. You will also have to pay money which has been spent on your behalf such as search fees.
