How it works in Scotland

Scottish conveyancing works differently. Sellers must usually provide a Home Report, many homes are sold by "offers over" with a closing date, and the contract is formed by an exchange of letters between solicitors called missives. Buyers pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax to Revenue Scotland, and ownership is registered with Registers of Scotland. The solicitor must be qualified in Scots law.

Frequently asked questions

How much do conveyancing solicitors in Glasgow charge?

Fees are set by each firm and vary with the work involved. Compare fixed fees side by side on Compare Legal, check what each quote includes, and make sure VAT and disbursements are in the total before you choose.

Does my solicitor need to be based in Glasgow?

Not in Glasgow itself, but they must be qualified in Scotland. Property law in Scotland is separate, so a firm from elsewhere in the UK usually can't act on a Scotland property.

How long does conveyancing take?

A typical purchase takes 8 to 12 weeks from offer to completion. Chains, leasehold paperwork, mortgage offers and survey issues can make it longer.

What should a quote include?

The firm's own fee, VAT, and disbursements: the costs the firm pays for you, such as searches, registration fees or court fees. Ask whether the fee is fixed and what would make it go up.
