Costs and Fees Information

At Larken & Co, we believe that clarity and transparency are essential when it comes to legal costs. Before starting any matter, we aim to give you a clear understanding of the likely fees involved, how they are calculated, and what they include.

This section of our website brings together key information about the costs of some of our most common services, along with our policies on client funds and interest. Each area sets out typical fee structures, what is included in the service, and the factors that may affect the overall cost.

Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions, with no hidden surprises, just straightforward, professional advice backed by transparent pricing.

When you instruct us, any client funds we hold are kept secure, separate from firm funds, and placed into a regulated Client Account or, where necessary, a Designated Deposit Account. We return a fair and reasonable proportion of interest earned on these funds, in line with Solicitors Accounts Rules.

Buying a property is a significant milestone and may involve complexities like Stamp Duty (or Land Transaction Tax, for Wales) and Land Registry work. We provide transparent, VAT-inclusive conveyancing fees that cover everything required to complete your purchase smoothly and on time.

Handling estate administration can vary considerably depending on estate complexity. We’ll guide you through every step, from obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration to managing asset distribution, offering clear legal cost estimates at the outset based on time and estate size.

Protecting your cash flow starts with clear recovery options. For uncontested debts, we offer fixed fees in proportion to the debt amount. If your claim becomes contested, we’ll provide tailored cost advice, whether that’s a one-off fixed fee for letter drafting or an hourly rate for court or enforcement proceedings.

Employment disputes can escalate quickly so it’s essential to know the potential costs. We offer transparent ranges depending on case complexity.
