How much does it cost to move house?

[FenderStrat]

I'm thinking of moving from a three bedroom terraced house in Surrey to a two bedroom terrace house in South Wales
Does anybody know what the total cost would be roughly for solicitors, surveys and removal fees in total?

TIA

Have you tried getting some quotes?

I'm not actually looking to move for at least another year. I'm just looking to get my head around the finances.

How are people on here supposed to know how much furniture you have to shift to a house they have no idea of the size or cost of ?!

Very roughly - solicitor fees for buying & selling, 4-8k. Depends on complexity, house value, feehold or leasehold

Surveys - basic survey, £600, specialist surveys 2k+ additional surveys could be thousands

Average house movers 2-5k depending on how much & area

Stamp duty - depends on property price

Cost of stress and sleepless nights - £££££

In my experience, estate agent and legal fees were a percentage of the sale price, and sale and purchase price, respectively.

Last time I moved I have three large trucks and it was about a grand.

Postal redirection, can’t remember how much that was.

Maybe £1500 for the survey.

I have had 3 EAs round this week and their fees varied from 0.75-1% of the final price plus VAT

You need a solicitor for your sale and for the onward purchase? In my head I am allocating £10k for this

Stamp duty

I hadn't thought about movers, would plan to do that myself

Recently moved (sold and bought).
Total cost was just short of 18 k.
That included surveys moving company, solicitors fees estate agents fees and stamp duty.
No get out clause, AHHHHHH

10-15k

My housr is worth £435000.
I'll be looking to buy a property for about £280,000

Thank you for the helpful replies.

Solicitors fees around 4-5k. These increase if you’re leasehold or have a management company.
estate agent fees of maybe 1%.
there’s a stamp duty calculator online.
we’re paying 1250 for removals, 3 bed house moving less than a mile, packing ourselves.

We are moving if conveyancing goes well from a flat for £180k to a house for £336k. We won't get change from £20k for the move.

Cost us about £18k last year

I forgot about stamp duty; it’s the Land Transaction Tax in Wales, and there are calculators online.

Don't forget your stamp duty 😆

Cost of postal redirection (really important) check here: https://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail/redirection

yikes. That is all really expensive.
So let’s say that the house sold and house bought were both worth around £200k.
£2k for the estate agent
£4k for solicitor
£1k survey
£1k removals
… about £8k, does that seem the right ballpark?

My DP is selling and buying, he's using the same solicitor firm. Both quotes and the estate agent fees are just under £5k. We are in the North West. He's had full surveys done.
