Cost of moving
Estate agent’s fees
Fees vary from one agent to another, so
it’s worth comparing fees charged by agents
in your area. You should consider how the
Home Information Pack will be paid for, as
this will vary from agent to agent.
Legal fees
Again these vary from firm to
firm. Expect to pay the solicitor about 1%
of the total agreed price – but check the
range of services they’ll provide for the
fee, and ask if they offer a no sale, no
charge guarantee. It’s often worth choosing
a solicitor or conveyancer on the
recommendation of a friend or colleague –
otherwise contact the Law Society to find
firms in your area.
We are able to
offer a very cost effective and
comprehensive conveyancing service.
Surveyor’s fees
If you’re moving to a new home, it’s
worth paying for a survey on the new
property from a qualified RICS member –
especially on older properties, or buildings
you want to extend or renovate.
Valuation fees
Your lender, if
obtaining a mortgage will require you to pay
for at least a mortgage valuation, the cost
of this will vary depending upon the value
of the property are buying.
Expect to pay from £250 upwards.
Lenders Arrangement fees
Most mortgage
lenders charge an arrangement fee, these
have moved upwards rapidly over the last 2
years and it is not uncommon to pay upwards
of £995.00.
This fee usually can be added to your
mortgage.
Our mortgage
Adviser will be able to advise as to
whether it is best to pay a larger or
smaller fee for your mortgage by carrying
out a cost analysis for you.
HIPs’ fee
You will be required to
buy a HIP (home information pack), the cost
will vary depending upon where you buy it,
but expect to pay from £250 upwards, plus
vat.
Direct Mortgage Centre are able to
offer HIPs from £225+vat.
