Our quotes are completely transparent and include everything you pay for. Unlike some other firms we do not have any hidden costs which will hit you on your final bill.
If you are ringing round for a quote, check that the quote you have received from any other firm is as honest as ours.

-
Headline Quote? Quotes that you get online are not tailored to you and therefore are often the cheapest they can be due to excluding extra costs which may in fact apply to you. Keep an eye out for asterisks (*) and small print.
-
Mortgage Lender Fee? If you have a mortgage some companies will charge you extra. We do not. Our quotes stay the same whether you have a mortgage or not.
Watch out! These can add £50 - £150 + VAT to your quote price!
-
Leasehold Fee? If you are buying or selling a leasehold flat or house, as opposed to a freehold property, there will be an extra charge. Our charge is clearly marked in your quote. Leasehold properties require extra work including checking more documents and liaising with the landlord and/or management company. We believe that our price is competitive and fair for the increased workload however; some companies charge as much as twice this amount. Shared ownership/shared equity schemes can also incur additional fees.
-
Phone Calls and Letters? No matter how many times we call, email or write to you; your fee will not rise. Other companies will add administrative fees just for contacting you. At Armitage Sykes our legal fees are fixed and guaranteed, unless there are defects in the title which we will advise you of as soon as they become apparent.
