How it works in Wales

Wales has its own tax, Land Transaction Tax, collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority. Its nil-rate threshold is higher than England's, but there is no separate first-time buyer relief. The legal process is otherwise the same as in England: searches, exchange of contracts, completion and registration at HM Land Registry.

Frequently asked questions

How much do conveyancing solicitors in Swansea 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 conveyancer need to be based in Swansea?

No. Any solicitor or licensed conveyancer in England and Wales can handle a purchase in Swansea, wherever their office is. A local firm can help if you want to meet in person or the property has local quirks.

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.
