Who Pays Transfer Costs When Buying a Property?

One of the most common questions we receive is: Who is responsible for paying the transfer costs?

The answer depends on the type of cost involved.

Typically:
✔️ The Buyer pays the transfer costs, conveyancing fees, Deeds Office fees and (where applicable) transfer duty.
✔️ The Seller is generally responsible for bond cancellation costs and estate agent commission (if applicable).

Understanding these costs before you buy or sell a property can help you budget with confidence and avoid unexpected surprises.

We are here to guide you through every step of the property transfer process with clear advice, transparent communication and expert legal support.
