  • what do I need to consider in moving and transaction costs?

    EA fee on sell side - assumed 1%
    Stamp duty on buy side - used the on line calculator to work it out
    Moving costs - allowed £10k, hopefully less
    Conveyancing - £3k? £5k?

    what else?

  • 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 - £3k

    Other optional extras:
    Mortgage broker fee - £500-1k
    Survey - £2k
    Skip/waste collection - £500 (Moving out is a good time to declutter!)
    Boiler/electrician inspection of new property - £500

  • Moving costs - should be £3-5k for pack/unpack service depending on how much stuff you have

    Is this really normal for a pack/unpack service by the way?!

    We did our own packing and had a one bed flat, but we also had a cellar full of shit making it equivalent to at least a normal two bed, and our moving costs were £300 plus a bit extra when they had to hang around when we failed to exchange until 5pm (I think £500 ish total).
