There'll be a for sale sign going up outside my house ASAP.
I don't like surprises and we don't have a dead lot of wriggle room so I am trying to run the numbers on ALL the expenses we'll incur in the process of selling and buying.

Is there anything I have missed from this?

Pay off remainder on existing mortgage
Pay the penalty for breaking the terms of the fixed term mortgage
Estate agent fees (at 3%? Any advice on agent fees?)
Stamp duty on new purchase
Legal fees and searches for new purchase
Moving costs
Lenders survey fee

Anything I've missed?

Any advice on agent fees?

DIY instead?

If you're in a hurry (and I think I read that you were) then some agents will accept an incentivised deal; where they get say 2% fees if sold in a month, 1.5% in two months, 1% in three months.

They are still cheap suited wankers though.
