Is my moving cost estimate approximately right?

Hi I'm just trying to work out my moving costs, just as a ball park figure, realise that prices wont be exact but have used this online calculator and its coming out at £23K so I was going to budget £30K. Is there anything that the below calculator misses or looks wrong? Just don't want to under budget!

where did you find this calculator, it looks quite useful. 

It’s hard to see the figures because zooming in makes them blurry, but it looks like your removals costs are £840. Is that right? That seems incredibly low unless you’re doing a self move. Having moved multiple times with the military, I’d estimate removals costs into thousands depending on the distance you’re moving.

For our sell and buy, and move a few miles away, we budgeted as follows:-

EA fees - £1,900
Legal fees Sale - £1,500
Legal Fees Purchase - £1,800
Stamp Duty - £4,500
Removal Costs £1,500

Total - £11,200
As yours has higher EA fees and higher SDLT, then overall pretty similar.

I wouldn't include Home Insurance as you are already paying that?, Conveyancing Fee sounds low, Home Buyers Protection Insurance?, We paid £250 mortgage product fee which is added to mortgage payment anyway so not a cost, valuation on our property was £0 but we have a low LTV, but the RICS survey we had was £800 (L3)
