Liability for Costs

Our invoice will normally be rendered immediately following an exchange of contracts and payment is required within 14 days thereof or on the completion date, whichever is the sooner. In the majority of circumstances it is likely that we will waive the payment of our fees until such time as completion takes place. When monies are due to be repaid to you on completion, any amount due to us shall be deducted from such monies, unless otherwise agreed.

It is important to remember that notwithstanding any agreement reached with any Third Party in relation to costs, it is the primary responsibility of the client to discharge our fees in respect of the transaction and our invoice will be addressed to you, the client. When the client comprises of more than one person, liability for our fees is shared between those persons on a joint and several basis so that we may seek recovery from any one or more of those persons notwithstanding any agreement reached between them in relation to costs.

Please note that VAT will be added to our professional charges at the rate that applies when the work is dealt with. At present VAT is charged at 17.5%.
