Rightmove Fees Calculator Accuracy?

I've used a calculator on Rightmove to calculate fees associated with buying a £200,000 property, It's coming out as £3,500, I've got broker fee of £250 to consider.
The Nationwide product has £225 valuation fee, on here says £1500 cash back (which would be handy) but is this legit? or is it only for special circumstances.
£25,000 should cover the deposit and the fees but how realistic is the Rightmove calculator? I don't really have much extra that i want to use, has anyone had any experience with fees getting out of control compared to what they'd budgeted?

It looks about right to me(the calculator), we are buying a property atm and we have budgeted £10k for costs and it is showing £8.6k which is actually more like the cost that we will end up paying, though we are moving ourselves so no removal fee costs for us (other than a van)0

Mine cost less. Said £3,800 (210K house), paid 3,278 including the homebuyer's report (as opposed to building survey). We didn't pay for any removals though.0

Yup that's what I'd expect. I'm a bit above that and budgeting £3-5k0
