PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Stamp duty is £1300.
Solicitor maybe £2-3k
Removals £??

How much do you to repay to Help to Buy?0

The OP has already said that they hope to get £210k for their house, and that gives them £10k equity. So, they must have £200k loans in total. Does it matter how that is split between HTB and conventional mortgage?sheramber said:How much do you to repay to Help to Buy?

It matters if there is help to buy involved because the Help to Buy surveyor will value the property. If they don't agree with the £210k part exchange price the deal will be scuppered.GDB2222 said:

If you only bought nine months ago I think that might be wishful thinking, as I suspect you'd have to lower your asking price considerably from what you bought it for.
It could also be those houses are no longer available on the site. They could demand a premium then.
After all why would someone buy a nine-month old second-hand house when they could get a brand new house on the same development done to their own specification, complete with all the special offers that are tempting you yourself and the various new-build guarantees, unless it was considerably cheaper ?
Could also be, as happens regularly, every 3 months the prices go up on developments.
This is true, it seems to be somewhat dated to think that a "secondhand" new build decreases in value right away because someone could just buy a brand new one down the road to their specification. When I was looking most of the developments were sold out and the few that weren't were increasing their prices with every build stage. The secondhand ones were going for the same price as the brand new ones, in some cases more, because they were building them so slowly you couldn't get a new one.

That might well be the case, but it isn't now.
Market has slowed. New Builds have slowed too. Generally, it has always been the case that New Builds come with a first buyer premium.
