Important

This calculator provides estimates only. Costs can vary significantly based on your location, property type, and the professionals you use. Some costs may be higher or lower than shown. Always get quotes from solicitors, surveyors, and removal companies for accurate figures.

Common Questions

What costs are not included?

This calculator doesn't include mortgage arrangement fees (which vary by lender), buildings insurance, moving day expenses (cleaning, takeaway meals), or any renovation or decoration costs for your new home.

Do I need a survey?

A survey isn't legally required, but it's generally recommended. A Homebuyer's Report can identify potential issues with the property that could save you money in the long run. For older or unusual properties, a full Building Survey may be worth considering.

Can I reduce these costs?

Some costs are fixed (like Stamp Duty), but you can shop around for legal fees, surveys, and removal services. Some lenders offer free valuations or cashback deals. If you're a first-time buyer, you may benefit from reduced Stamp Duty.
