We will be happy to provide you with a quotation of the exact costs relating to your matter once we are aware of all the circumstances. You will be notified by letter, at the commencement of each matter that we undertake on your behalf, the basis upon which we will charge you.
We undertake all residential property work on a fixed fee basis and we will agree that fee with you before we commence work on your matter.
