See Glossary to familiarise yourself with the process of E-Dealing and Tax Information.
Fees
The basis on which fees will be charged is outlined in your quote. Once you accept a quote you will be asked to pay $255.00 + GST. The balance of your fee + GST will become due on Settlement and payable to Halliwells from your settlement fund.
A LegalPath quote is based on the information provided. If there is additional work that exceeds the scope of that quote, we will discuss this with you and seek your authority prior to incurring additional costs.
Please note that as soon as you engage Halliwells, costs are incurred. Your initial deposit covers Halliwells time and involvement and third party costs incurred in the onboarding completing AML and initial stages of your transaction.
Responsibility for Services
Ken Horner will be the Solicitor with overall responsibility for the work on your transaction. Halliwells will contact you directly after the AML/CFT obligations are met.
In addition to this information, we encourage you to read the Terms and Conditions which we are required to provide to all clients.
We appreciate that you have chosen Halliwells for this matter and are committed to ensuring your conveyancing needs are met. We welcome any questions or feedback.
