Home Owners - How we can Help! If you already have lease or other documents in their possession then that’s fine we can upload them into the pack and save a few more pounds. Why pay for something that is already available?
Moving house isn't a cheap exercise, so before you put your house on the market, it's important to do your homework and work out exactly how much it's going to cost to sell. We aim to do EPCs within 24 hrs of your instruction, this is how we can get you on the market fast. However this is subject to your avalibialty of course.
The only other delay which can occur is when a property is unregistered or no title is avalible. We can normally get a response from land registery in 3-4 days but this can vary.
If you can supply a O/S plan marked in red which will be required, this can help speed up the process. Use this table (below) to give you an approximate idea of the costs of buying and moving home. Select the relevant figures for legal, mortgage and removals costs and then add together for the total cost. If you are using an estate agent to sell your property, take the value of your property and multiply it by 1.8 per cent to gain an idea of the fee you are likely to have to pay to an estate agent.

Estate agent fee If you are using an estate agent to sell your home, you will be charged a fee for their services. This will usually vary between 1.5 and 3% of your property's sale price plus VAT and will be at the upper end if you sign up to a multi-agent contract. So if your house sells for say £250,000, you will pay them anything from £3,750-7,500 in commission plus VAT. Fees can be negotiated up front, and even reduced after a period of time if your agent is slow to sell your property. Mortgage penalties Check your mortgage's small print to find out what charges might be applicable if you are settling your loan early. Redemption penalty When moving house, you will be paying off your existing mortgage and taking out a new one. Repaying some or all of your existing mortgage may incur early repayment charges (also known as redemption penalties) so check your mortgage small print. This can be as much as several months' worth of mortgage payments as a penalty for redeeming earlier than your mortgage agreement. However, if your mortgage is what's called 'portable', you can transfer this loan to the new property. Mortgage Exit Administration Fee Pay off a mortgage and you'll be charged a mortgage exit administration fee (MEAF) that covers the admin costs associated with releasing a mortgage once the capital's been paid. This is either applied when you pay off your mortgage early or at the end of the original mortgage term. Removals Think about the cost of removals. Hiring a van is a cheaper option if you're only moving a short distance from a flat or small house. However for anything larger or for long distance moves, it makes practical sense in terms of time and labour to hire a professional removals firm. This can cost anything up to £1,500 plus additional packing costs. Guide to removal costs
