FIXED FEES

By advising a fixed fee at the start of your case you have certainty about the costs involved. The alternative is to pay an hourly rate for the time your solicitor spends on your case. LfB offers all their clients legal services on a fixed fee basis.

Whilst most law firms do not publish their costs online, we choose to, simply because we’re different and wish to emphasise our commitment to being open and transparent.

Notes
Please note our fixed fees quoted are all exclusive of VAT and any disbursements commonly associated with the transaction to include any external third party costs, such as Land Registry searches, Companies House searches, stamp duty, agents fees, etc. Full details can be given at the outset. Fees may vary depending on your specific requirements and complexity of the work. However, those detailed on our website are typically what we charge to perform the service.

In circumstances where an hourly rate is applicable, clients will be invoiced on a monthly basis with settlement of each invoice being anticipated within 14 days. In most circumstances, clients will be asked to provide a security deposit at the onset of proceedings which will be offset against the final invoice once matters are concluded.
