Fixing unexpected stuff when moving in.
Sell will be more than 1 by a bit.
Mortgage costs /fees
Alcohol to sooth stress
Bills when moving out/in -
Slightly polemic but I would add a “good” surveyor* £1k (with some change left). Plus any decorating, furnishing and immediate fixes that the new place might need to be fully functional for you
*Happy to recommend a good and affordable local one on both the conveyancing and surveying fronts (No worries I don’t get a cut 😊)
1.5 years ago, 1.5% estate agents, £2.5k conveyance, £900 survey if I remember correctly

EA fee on sell side - 1-1.5%
Stamp duty on buy side - used the on line calculator to work it out
Moving costs - should be £3-5k for pack/unpack service depending on how much stuff you have.
Conveyancing - £3kOther optional extras:
Mortgage broker fee - £500-1k
Survey - £2k
Skip/waste collection - £500 (Moving out is a good time to declutter!)
