Best just to get in touch with a solicitor/estate agent and get an idea of prices as it will vary from place to place.
They will give you an 'idea' of price, but the surveyor doing the home report will set the valuation which is what the asking price is based on.
For selling, you will have the price of the home report, advertising, schedules being made up maybe, estate agency fee.
For buying, legal conveyancing costs and stamp duty (depending on the price you pay)

Cheers Fiona, I think the stamp duty will be 1% as we've got a maximum of £165k for a house.

Its a fucking joke. We now own the government 15k for moving house!
Exactly its a joke.
We are looking at over 10k to pay the government just because we want to move house
Hence why ly see a lot of houses for sale just over the thresholds as the seller will know someone will offer just below thresholds to save money
Like Fee said shop around. Basic fees vary from 500 to over 1k and try and get one thats been recommended. No point in saving money if they are rubbish. My mate lost his sale as his solicitor was too slow and both his buyers and the people he was was buying off pulled out

We already paid £9k when we moved into our current flat
To me, when you move you should only pay the excess (if anything at all)
so we've already paid £9k so should only have to pay the extra £6k
But I'd rather pay nothing

company called one E tax deal with sdlt (stamp duty land tax) they have systems in place to avoid paying it
