                    Our Fixed Legal Fee policy ensures that you pay no more than we have quoted you for the legal fee aspect of your transaction and is based on what is known at the point of which the quotation is ran.
                </p><p>
                    There are specific circumstances on a minority of transactions that may require additional charges that could not be foreseen at the outset.
                </p><p>
                    A list of the <a href="https://www.homewardlegal.co.uk/about-us/charging-information">most common charges and their explanations</a> can be found here with details of the potential cost. These will only be charged following discussion with your conveyancer with a clear explanation of what they are for.

                    To secure this benefit, a fee already included in your quote, is taken upon on deciding to go ahead with your transaction.

                    Should your transaction fall through, for whatever reason, we can hold this amount on account for your next transaction or provide a refund.
