Note; If your matter requires additional work that is not included in the estimate, you will be informed of this and what additional costs will be at the earliest possible time. Matters typically exceeding the quoted fee when they are particularly complicated, for example where a lease has to be exhausted as part of the purchase of a leasehold property, or when there are issues on the title.
