A SUITABLE CONVEYANCER, A CLEAR NEXT STEP
To find a solicitor for buying a house, start with the property, your mortgage lender and the work the purchase requires. With onthemoov, you compare the package options; we use those details to match your purchase with a suitable legal team.
Tell us the lender's exact name. We check the intended firm's ability to act for your mortgage before arranging the purchase. Our network covers a wide range of banks and building societies.

Your conveyancer is your contact for legal advice and progress on the legal work. The onthemoov team remains available for package and setup questions and to help raise communication concerns with the firm. Call 03330 065 569 with your quote or case reference.

Stamp Duty in England or Land Transaction Tax in Wales is separate. Leasehold, new-build, gifted-deposit and other additional work can affect the price. These are dated examples; get a quote using your own details.
Use your own property and funding details to get an itemised onthemoov quote. These are the main reasons it can differ from the example above.
Leasehold work includes reviewing the lease and management information. New builds involve development documents and deadlines. These requirements can add work and charges, so select the correct property type.
The price and type of registration affect Land Registry fees. Property tax is calculated separately, with different rules in England and Wales. Include the price and postcode so your quote reflects the property.
A mortgage adds lender requirements and panel checks. Cash purchases still involve title, identity and source-of-funds checks. Tell us how you are funding the purchase so your personalised quote shows the applicable fees.
See purchase conveyancing costs by property price and tenure →
Tell us if you are using a gifted deposit, Lifetime ISA or shared ownership, so the relevant checks and paperwork can be included. Have your deposit evidence and any donor or scheme details ready. Your legal fee reflects the work your purchase requires.
First-time buyer conveyancing →Ask about the lease review, management information and additional charges.
Leasehold conveyancing quotes →Share the reservation and exchange deadlines, development details and mortgage timing.
New-build conveyancing quotes →Choosing a purchase solicitor who can also act for your lender helps you arrange the right legal representation from the outset. Our partner network covers a wide range of banks and building societies. Give us the exact lender name on your mortgage offer so we can confirm the firm for your purchase before you instruct.
KNOW WHAT YOUR NEXT ATTEMPT WOULD COST
All our purchase packages protect the unfinished transaction's quoted legal fee if it falls through before completion. Plus also protects eligible setup and search costs for another attempt.
Essential and Plus both include no sale, no legal fee protection. Incurred checks and other costs have their own terms.
With Plus, covered file-opening payments transfer for up to 14 years from initial instruction. With Essential, a new attempt has a new file-opening charge.
Plus covers an eligible replacement local, water/drainage and environmental search pack within six months of the original search order. Essential does not include replacement-search protection.
The protection carries covered costs forward; it is not a cash refund. A £75 re-verification charge applies after an instruction gap exceeding six months. Other costs and the successful purchase's fees remain payable. See the protection explained, search guarantee and terms.
Instruct by 3:30pm on a working day for setup by 6pm that day. Later instructions are set up by 6pm the next working day. Setup means preparing and opening the matter, with searches ordered or pre-ordered as appropriate; search results and completion follow separately.
You can arrange your purchase remotely throughout England and Wales. Lender suitability, experience with your property and communication arrangements matter when choosing. If you would prefer an appointment, tell us before instructing so we can check availability. Explore our conveyancing area guides, including London and Essex.
You can get a quote while planning your purchase, including before an offer is accepted. Give accurate property and funding information, and update the details if your plans change. Instructing early can help you prepare your identification and funding documents.
No. The legal fee covers the work described in your quotation. Searches, property tax and other charges are separate, and additional legal work can affect the total. Review the itemised quote and applicable terms.
A suitable firm can often handle both sides of your move. Request a combined quote with the price, postcode and tenure of each property, plus the mortgage details for the purchase and any loan being repaid on the sale.
Timing depends on the chain, legal enquiries, searches, mortgage and the readiness of all parties. An instant quote describes how quickly you receive pricing; it does not promise an instant completion. Tell us about any deadline before instructing.
