Mrs JLS is keen to move us from our 3 bed semi to something slightly more grand.
The move will be within Glasgow.

What's it going to cost me?
Anybody able to offer got ball park figures for the various fees, in order I don't embarrass myself by dropping my jaw on to the estate agents laminate flooring?

stamp duty 1%
legal fees (for buying and selling)?
estate agents fees - a percentage?
home report/ energy report £300-£500?
Removals company cost (not going far) ?

Anything I've missed?

Thanks in advance.

Cant comment on everything, but im a first time buyer in england and have today been given quotes from several solicitors for conveyancing to purchase between 800-900 quid.

> stamp duty 1%

Actual rate of stamp duty depends upon value of house and location:

Cheers, I'd guess around £1500 for buying and selling so that might be about right.

Does your quotes include VAT?
