Buying and Selling Property – Expert Legal Support from Gordon and Thompson Solicitors
At Gordon and Thompson Solicitors, we manage all aspects of residential property transactions, including buying, selling, or owning a home. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We also specialise in shared ownership and housing association transactions—see our dedicated sections for more information. Our pricing is highly competitive, and we’re happy to offer a fixed-fee quote over the phone, followed by a written estimate via email. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the price we quote is the price you’ll pay—no hidden charges.
Transparent Pricing – No Hidden Extras
When you instruct us, you can be confident that our quote includes all essential services, unlike some firms that charge extra for standard tasks. Our fees cover:
- Acting for your mortgage lender
- All telephone and postal communications
- Stamp Duty Land Tax return preparation
- Identity verification (statutory requirement)
- Professional indemnity insurance contribution
- Short completion times (no extra cost for completing within two weeks)
- Secure storage of documents and title deeds
We won’t surprise you with charges for necessary services like completing SDLT returns or expediting completion—you get clear, honest pricing from the start.
Freehold, Leasehold & Enfranchisement Services
We also advise leaseholders on purchasing the freehold of their properties and act for both landlords and tenants in Right of First Refusal matters, as outlined in the Leasehold Reform legislation. You can learn more in our Lease Extension and Enfranchisement section.
How Long Will It Take?
The average time for a standard sale or purchase is between 4 to 8 weeks, though this can vary depending on the chain, legal complexities, and property type. Leasehold transactions typically take longer due to the additional parties and paperwork involved. Delays from third parties and the long-term impact of the pandemic can also extend the timeline.
