Fees for conveyancing in Vale of White Horse

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 Vale of White Horse.

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.

Introduction to Vale of White Horse

The Vale of White Horse is a local government district in Oxfordshire. It has a population of 124,852 as of mid-2014, spread over the 68 parishes within the district. Like many British government districts, the Vale of White Horse was formed on the 1st April 1974, through a merger of the municipal borough of Abingdon, the Wantage Urban District, the Abingdon and Faringdon Rural Districts and part of the Wantage Rural District in Berkshire.

The Vale is probably most renown as being the location of the Uffington White Horse, a 114m long hill sculpture of a horse, where the turf has been cut back, revealing the chalk underneath. The sculpture is thought to have been created during the Iron Age, and therefore shows remarkable historical prominence.

Part of the Ridgeway Road is also located in the Vale, which is often claimed to be Britain's old road, being used at least 5,000 years ago. It was an extremely reliable trading route, spanning over 87 miles towards The Wash, Boston.

In terms of the Vale's economy, it used to have a thriving dairy industry, however in recent years this has died down significantly, and arable farming is much more prominent. Other agriculture includes mining, as minerals such as sand, gravel and Fuller's Earth are all in vast quantity within the area.

Macdermid Autotype is one of the last few large industrial employers in the region.

The Great Western Main Line and the Cherwell Valley Line provide the area with reliable transport links, and can be accessed via the Appleford and Radley railway stations.
