Are you frustrated at how much it can cost you to sell your house? Cash just seems to run through your fingers and it seems like such an expensive process. What costs are involved in selling your house?
• Estate agent fees – estate agents charge a fee for selling your house. Typically, this is a percentage of the price you sell for. Some estate agents charge up to 2.5% - and may also ask for money towards advertising and marketing costs.
• Legal costs – you will need a solicitor to handle the legal paperwork involved in your sale. You can usually agree a fixed fee for your sale, but this may increase if there are any problems with the property you are buying, or if your sale falls through and the process has to start again.
• Decorating and repairs – many estate agents will tell you that your house is more likely to sell if you spend a bit of money to smarten it up. This could be anything from a fresh coat of paint in the hall to a new kitchen or bathroom – all of which costs money.
• Removals – when you sell your house through an estate agent, you have to move out on the completion date, leaving the property empty. You will either have to hire a van or book a removals company, which will increase your costs.
