fees for selling a house

IJ_UK

hi
ive never sold a house before so could anyone give me a rough guide to how much it would cost to sell a 100k house. also do all the fees have to be paid upfront or is it possible to pay deposits then pay the rest once house is sold?
help would be appreciated
thanks

The Estate Agents usually get paid by the solicitor, out of the completion monies. The solicitor will usually take their fee from here as well, so you shouldn't have to pay either of those up front. Fees will vary depending on area, EA's usually charge 1-1.5% + VAT of the final selling price, (some charge a fixed fee or minimum fee so check this) solicitors £300-500 + VAT.

A HIP should cost about £300 + VAT, this may be payable upfront, some HIPs suppliers offered deferred payments, but check exactly what is involved with this. If you go for a HIP via the EA check that it will belong to you, we use local solicitors to provide the HIPs required, check which solicitor in your area can provide them.
