Our fees are quoted to you as estimates on the basis of the information you supply to us and also not having had sight of any legal documents or detailed understanding of the actual purchase transaction at hand. We therefore always request any additional information you can supply us so that we can try and accurately estimate our legal fees which in most cases remain as quoted from the outset of the transaction. As a guideline, we have set out our legal fees on certain matters to assist clients budgeting for their case.
Premises Application
Fixed fee of £1,800 (plus VAT of £360)

Fee includes:
• Taking your instructions and advising you as to how you can promote the licensing objectives within your application
• Advising you as the type of plans you are required to submit with your application.
• Completing the application form for a new premises licence (including the operating schedule) in accordance with your instructions and submitting this to the local licensing authority alongside suitable plans. You must provide suitable plans.
• Providing guidance on the fee levels payable to the licensing authority.
• Preparing copies of the premises licence application for disclosure to the responsible authorities and serving copies of the application on the responsible authorities.
• Drafting the notices advertising the premises licence application and submitting the notice to the local newspaper.
• Arranging with you for you to display the notice(s) advertising the premises licence application and advising as to where and how this should be done by you in order to comply with the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003.

If representations are received and attendance and representation at a licensing sub-committee is required then we will provide a separate fee estimate for this work which will be charged at an hourly rate.
How long will my application take?
Matters usually take 4-6 weeks from receipt of full instructions from you. This is on the basis of the application being relatively straightforward and you being able to provide all the necessary documents promptly. If your matter is more complex, for example, if there is substantial opposition from interested parties, or if there is a delay in receiving the documents we need, it may take longer.
Your matter will be dealt with by our licensing consultant solicitor, Mr Erol Islek, who qualified as a solicitor in 2005 and has several year’s experience of dealing with licencing matters.
