How much did it cost you to move?

[Jammydodged]

We want to move this year, I’d like to get an idea on extra things we will need to pay for.

Soliciters fees
Estate agents (fees differ per company/house price)
stamp duty

what other things do I need to factor in?

thank you

Just moved. Our EA charged 1% commission, which is about standard for our area.

Stamp duty depends on the house price in Wales, I thought it did elsewhere too?

You need to factor in removal costs unless you're doing it all yourself. Also assume that multiple things will break/fail in the new house! So far we've had to call out a plumber, a window repair man, a builder and a general handyman, and that was for a house that supposedly needed no work doing!

We sold and bought recently.
Selling - we used Strike so no commission at all. £0 selling fees.
Solicitors £1200 all together

Buying - £1000 solicitors. £700 removals. (We packed ourselves, 2 bed, moved 11 miles)
Stamp duty £2500.

Im currently moving. they wanted an EICR done as had not been done for years. you will need an up to date EPC. they are the 2 things i didnt know about.

We've just moved. Probably cost us £50k all in - the vast majority of that was SDLT. Removal costs were over double what I was expecting (based on a moving calculator). Solicitors were c. £3k (sale and purchase). EA was 1.25% and got us a good price for our sale.

I've just moved. In total it'll have cost around £10,600 for the sale and purchase. All slightly complicated by selling first so having 2 sets of removals. Cost breakdown was:
Solicitor £3500
Estate agent £4000 and worth every penny
Stamp duty £2500
Removals £600

We moved a few weeks ago

used Purplebricks for sale - was ok but probably would have used a bricks and mortar EA if I’d have known that the post sales support was so minimal. Fortunately we had a good buyer and we did all the chasing to progress the sale and purchase ourselves. Costs as follows

Moved from 3 bed to 4 bed about a mile away. For various reasons we had a separate solicitor dealing with sale and purchase

purchase
solicitors fee £1273.20
searches £218.62
stamp duty £1500
land reg fees £330

sale
estate agent £1233
indemnity insurance £17.96
solicitors fee £1230.85

removals £700

So in all around £6.5k

Stamp duty is a % of the house value.
Solicitor fees were £1200
Our estate agent charged a flat fee of £750
We borrowed a friend's van to move and did it all ourselves

Buying costs
£2600 solicitor
£1400 Survey
£25,000 stamp duty

Selling costs
£1200 solicitor
£1200 estate agent

Moving costs
£200 van hire (moved ourselves)
