Fees for conveyancing in Staffordshire Moorlands

Our fees are transparent and, so long as the situation does not change (for example so long as your property doesn't turn out to be leasehold when we thought it was freehold) the fee we quote is the fee you will be charged.

We don't add extras on for things like photocopying, postage, or the like. Those are our overheads and we don't pass them on to you.

All our conveyancing fees are dependent on the nature and value of the transaction, so we naturally charge a bit more for more complicated and high value work. However, the fee charged will be the same for a customer in Newcastle as it would be for someone in London, or indeed in Staffordshire Moorlands.

There are some aspects of our conveyancing fees which we can't change. Fees charged by other bodies such as HM Land Registry, or by HMRC for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) are out of our control.

Like many British government districts, Staffordshire Moorlands was formed on the 1st April 1974, through a merger of the urban districts of Biddulph and Leek with the Cheadle and Leek Rural Districts.

The economy of the district largely revolves around the main towns. Leek provided a great deal of prosperity for the district historically, through its textile industry and Cheadle for its coal mining. Nowadays, there is a large JCB factory in Cheadle which provides a great deal of employment and the economy in Leek revolves mainly around the service sector.

The main source of employment in the district however is the Alton Towers Theme Park, which employs over a 1000 local residents, and has a turnover of £1.2bn. Other visitor attractions in the district include the Leek Arts Festival, and rock climbing in The Roaches.

In terms of transport, the area is well connected. For instance, there is Leek railway station which provides services to the likes of Macclesfield. There are also plans to build a new station near to the original Leek station. Other stations include Blythe Bridge, which provides services to the likes of Crewe and Derby.

There are many reliable bus services in the area, and main roads include the A523, the A53, and the A52.
