Legal Fees Transparency
Understanding legal costs is an important part of choosing the right solicitor. Clients should be able to understand what work is included within a fee, what additional costs may apply and how those costs may change if circumstances become more complex.
At Hains & Lewis, we believe in providing clear information from the outset. While some legal services can be offered on a fixed-fee basis, others depend on the complexity of the matter and the amount of work required. In these cases, we provide realistic estimates and keep clients informed throughout the process.
We recognise that every legal matter is different. A straightforward transaction or claim may require limited work, while more complex matters may involve additional documentation, negotiations, court proceedings or third-party involvement. Where additional work becomes necessary, we will discuss this with you before any further costs are incurred.
Our pricing information has been published to help clients understand what is typically included within our fees, the likely stages involved and any disbursements or additional expenses that may arise.
Understanding Our Pricing Information
The pricing information available throughout our website has been designed to provide greater clarity around our services and the costs involved.
Depending on the service, pricing information may include:
- Fixed fees where available
- Estimated fee ranges
- Typical timescales
- Key stages involved in the matter
- Disbursements payable to third parties
- Factors that may increase complexity and cost
- Details of work not included within the quoted fee
We appreciate that legal terminology and legal procedures can sometimes be unfamiliar. By providing information about likely costs and processes, we aim to help clients make informed decisions before instructing a solicitor.
Our pricing pages are intended as a guide and should not be considered a substitute for individual advice. Once we understand your circumstances, we will be able to provide more tailored information about the likely costs involved in your matter.
Conveyancing Fees
Property transactions are one of the most common legal services people require. Whether you are buying, selling, transferring or remortgaging a property, understanding conveyancing fees is an important part of planning your transaction.
The total cost of conveyancing will depend on several factors, including the type of property involved, whether the property is freehold or leasehold, the value of the property and whether any unexpected issues arise during the transaction.
In addition to legal fees, there may also be third-party costs, often referred to as disbursements. These can include search fees, Land Registry fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax where applicable.
Our conveyancing pricing information explains what work is included, outlines likely disbursements and provides guidance on circumstances that may affect the overall cost of a transaction.
Probate Fees
Administering an estate can involve a range of legal and practical responsibilities. The amount of work required will depend on factors such as the size of the estate, the assets involved, whether there is a valid Will and whether any disputes arise.
Our probate fees information is designed to provide greater clarity around the work involved in estate administration and the likely costs associated with that work.
The process may include obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, identifying and valuing assets, settling liabilities and distributing the estate to beneficiaries. Some estates are relatively straightforward, while others require more extensive work.
We understand that probate often comes at a difficult time for families. Providing clear information about costs allows clients to make informed decisions and understand what to expect throughout the process.
Employment Tribunal Fees
Employment disputes can vary significantly in complexity. Some matters may be resolved through negotiation or early conciliation, while others may proceed to a full Employment Tribunal hearing.
Our employment tribunal fees information is available through dedicated pricing pages for employees and employers, providing guidance on likely costs, timescales and the key stages involved in the process.
The overall cost of an employment matter will depend on factors such as the complexity of the claim, the volume of documentation involved, the number of witnesses and whether a hearing is required.
By providing transparent pricing information, we aim to help clients understand the process and make informed decisions about how best to proceed.

Why Legal Costs Can Vary
No two legal matters are identical. Even where two cases appear similar at the outset, the work required can vary considerably depending on the issues involved.
Factors that may influence legal costs include:
- The complexity of the legal issues
- The amount of documentation involved
- The number of parties involved
- Court or tribunal requirements
- Whether negotiations are required
- The timescales involved
- Any unforeseen issues that arise during the matter
Where circumstances change, we will discuss any impact on costs with you before carrying out additional work wherever possible.
Keeping clients informed is an important part of our service. We believe regular communication and transparency regarding costs helps clients understand exactly what work is being carried out and why.
