I read that topic as 'buying house coats' 
Depends on the age of the house, what the lender requires, current legal situation etc.

Its hard to say specifically, but given legal fees, estate agency fees, SDLT (although not applicable on sub-125k), for an average house of around 130k I would say 2-2.5k all in.
On the note of First Time Buyer Stamp Duty relief - ends 24 March.
Were pressing ours atm to get them exchanged/completed prior to this date
Searches - dependant on where the property was and to what extent you conducted searches (say you have Local, Enviro and Water and Drainage done), our average is circa£300 (which in comparison to other firms is high).
