    H there,

    What's the rate of VAT applied to Solicitors fees, for conveyancing - 21 or 23%?

    Thanks,
    GW

    Slightly off topic but when dealing with property transactions, my solicitor would always send a 'note of fees' which was clearly marked as not being a vat invoice. I thought it odd but it made no difference to me even though details of vat charges would be itemised.
    Was this legit?

    One reason maybe that they only generate a vat invoice on the receipt of payment
