The Cost of Selling A House

The Cost of Selling A House

While most people are aware of the costs associated with buying a home, the fees associated with selling a house are not as commonly regarded. Selling your home can be expensive. There is a need to call on professionals in the process, which costs money.

These payments also often have a deadline, on or before the sale concludes. The deadlines place many vendors under added pressure, and it is vital you are aware of how much and when you need to pay the associated costs of selling your home.

Placing your home on the market is a stressful activity. If you want to minimise the stress you feel, ensuring you are informed about the process will help.

Work out your budget before committing to the sales process

If you are keen to draft up a list of necessary costs when selling a home, the following items must be considered.

1.      EPC

2.      Survey fees

3.      Estate agent fees

4.      Conveyancing fees

5.      Removal costs

6.      Stamp Duty

Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to consider mortgage valuation fee and mortgage broker fees. There is a lot to consider when you sell your home, and it can be easy to overlook some issues and fees.
