Never underestimate how expensive moving house is. Here's what you'll have to budget for when you're selling.
Estate Agents
Fees vary from 1% - 3% plus VAT at 20%. If you use more than one agent, you will be charged up to 3% in commission plus VAT for whichever agent introduces the buyer.
For instance, on a sale price of £250,000, this would mean estate agents' commission of more than £8,800. Don't be afraid to haggle over commission rates especially in a stagnant housing market. Find an estate agent at www.naea.co.uk.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Costs
Energy performance certificates (EPCs) must be commissioned when you put your home on the market. These cost from £35.
