Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as, in the case of a purchase, Land Registry fees, Local Water andf Environmental search fees , and stamp duty.
On a leasehold property third party payments will include notices to the landlord and Management Company charges.
Your quotation from us will include all fees and other charges though initially the management charges on leasehold purchases may not be known until the transaction proceeds and have to be estimated.
