About Compare My Conveyancing
Six ways to get a house transferred, compared on what each one may legally do
What is on this site
One question, "compare conveyancing", answered with a comparison that works on the page with no account, 5 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Conveyancing fees: what is the firm's, and what is not: Most of a conveyancing bill is fixed by HM Land Registry and by stamp duty. Separating the two is what makes two quotes actually comparable.
- What are conveyancing fees actually paying for?: Searches, title, contract, enquiries, mortgage conditions, completion and registration. What the work actually is, stage by stage, and where it stalls.
- Conveyancing in Scotland: a different system, not a variation: Missives, an earlier point of commitment, a different tax and a different complaints body. What English assumptions get wrong about a Scottish purchase.
- Getting a conveyancing quote you can actually compare: Eight questions that make two quotes comparable, most of which the firm is already required to have answered in writing on its own website.
- Conveyancing fees calculator: which parts are fixed and which are quoted: A conveyancing quote is three things added together. Two are set by published scales and one is the firm's own price. Knowing which is which makes two quotes comparable.

Compare My Conveyancing is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, the Law Society of Scotland, HM Land Registry, HM Revenue and Customs or any government body, and it is not a firm of solicitors or licensed conveyancers. Nothing here is legal advice on a transaction. We publish no legal fee anywhere on this site: no authority sets one, every SRA-regulated firm is required to publish its own, and a national average would describe no transaction in particular. The Land Registry and stamp duty figures shown are quoted from the government pages cited on this page and read on the date at the top of it; both change on their own cycles, so check the date before relying on a figure. We take no commission from any firm in this comparison and carry no paid placements.
