When purchasing a property in Newport, you will usually be required to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). SDLT is a fixed rate of tax per square metre on the purchase price of the property. For properties in Wales this is set at 4% for all purchases including freehold and leasehold homes.

The average conveyancing costs in Newport are based on the property value and how complex the move is. Fees will also increase if you are buying and selling the property at the same time, as the conveyancing solicitor will have to do twice as much work. Other factors that can affect your conveyancing fees include whether or not you are taking advantage of government schemes such as Shared Ownership or gifted deposits, as these can require extra paperwork.

One of the main responsibilities for your Newport conveyancer will be to carry out searches on the property you are buying, this includes Local Authority, Environmental and Water and Drainage searches. These important searches can reveal information such as flood risk, ground instability and radon gas risks. It is also important to note that according to Geobear’s UK Subsidence Map Newport properties are not at high risk of subsidence.
