This is a dumb question but are people paying these costs from savings? My wife seems adamant that we could fund a move with equity from the sale of our house, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it usually works.
I've sold once and bought twice, and last time I paid for all costs with savings, though they were small due to no stamp duty or movers, this time we're looking at>10k stamp duty and there's no way I'm moving everything in a van.
We'll not be maxing out our potential borrowing so I suppose it might be possible with some things, but maybe lenders would look unfavourably on some of it paint for a moving firm.
