What does it cost to move?

If I buy the new place half and half with a friend, is the Stamp Duty the same?

Stamp Duty Land Tax is the full name

If it isn't your only home or your friend's only home, you will be subject to a higher rate. Your solicitor will have more info on costs.

It would be our only home.

It just occurred to me that each person might have a sort of allowance or something but no, it is levied on the property so it's always going to be £5,000 on a £300k house. Shame.

Don't forget the 20% VAT on EA's fee of around 1%.

Removals packing and wrapping, a grand min I'd say. And worth EVERY BLOODY PENNY!

Post Office redirection and bank transfer fees (if incurred) minor but maybe worth mentioning.

So, £10,500 plus a grand for moving.

Total, £11,500.

Thanks EVERYONE for helping me to put together this "ball park". I am a little bit weepy that I am going to lose £11,500 when I love :-(
