Sold house. Looking to find out how much I'll receive

Hi,

Selling my home for an agreed price of £92,000

I have £37,000 left to pay on my mortgage. Would the money I get from the sale be £92,000 - £37,000 which would be £55,000?

Before legal fees etc

    Yes thats correct. Subtract legal fees, estate agency, land registry and a few bits and bobs

    That's right. The outstanding mortgage is taken off the sale price. You need to take account of any Estate Agents fees too, although these won't come off directly.

  • Thanks very much
  • Are you on a fixed term mortgage, as you might have an early repayment fee too.
