How much for a witness signature?

[calibrax]

I have a document which I need to sign in relation to the sale of a house... my signature needs to be witnessed by a "Commisioner for Oaths". How much will he charge for this?

[Maude]

Around here, �5 for the first signature plus �2 for each further signature on attached documents (plans, etc).

[David Black]

Yes I paid �5 in central London last week at a solicitors.

I agree, but it doesn't need to be witnessed by a Commissioner for Oaths, merely a Solicitor holding a Practising Certifcate. Commissioners for Oaths are becoming almost as rare as Notaries Public.

No, it definitely needs to be a Commissioner for Oaths. The house is in Scotland, and under Scots Law the affidavit has to be signed by a Notary Public or a CfO.

Thanks to all who replied. I was just hoping it wasn't going to cost me upwards of �50... seems it won't! Cheers!
