MoneyHelper states that a fee of approximately <strong>0.75% to 3.5%<\/strong> of the selling price commonly applies and reports an <strong>average 2026 fee of 1.42% including VAT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At different sale prices, a 1.42% fee would be:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mfo-table-wrap\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Estate agent fee examples\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Sale price<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Example fee at 1.42%<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a3200,000<\/td>\n<td>\u00a32,840<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a3300,000<\/td>\n<td>\u00a34,260<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a3400,000<\/td>\n<td>\u00a35,680<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a3500,000<\/td>\n<td>\u00a37,100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Confirm whether every quotation includes VAT. Also check what the contract includes, such as photography, floor plans, online listings, accompanied viewings, offer negotiation and sales progression.<\/p>\n<h3>Check the contract type<\/h3>\n<p>The contract may be sole agency, sole selling rights or multi-agency. GOV.UK warns that using more than one agent can sometimes create liability for more than one fee. Read the agreement carefully, especially the minimum term, notice period, withdrawal charges and circumstances in which commission becomes payable.<\/p>\n<p>A lower percentage is not automatically the best value. Compare the agent\u2019s local evidence, communication, buyer qualification, marketing plan and ability to progress the transaction.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conveyancing-fees\">Solicitor or conveyancing fees<\/h2>\n<p>A solicitor or licensed conveyancer handles the legal transfer of the property. MoneyHelper gives an indicative selling range of approximately <strong>\u00a3800 to \u00a31,800<\/strong>, although complex transactions can cost more.<\/p>\n<p>A standard quotation may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Checking the title and ownership details.<\/li>\n<li>Preparing the draft contract pack.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing seller property forms.<\/li>\n<li>Answering the buyer\u2019s legal enquiries.<\/li>\n<li>Communicating with the buyer\u2019s conveyancer.<\/li>\n<li>Obtaining a mortgage redemption statement.<\/li>\n<li>Managing exchange and completion.<\/li>\n<li>Transferring the sale proceeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additional legal charges may apply to leasehold, shared-ownership, probate, unregistered, tenanted or otherwise complicated property. Request an itemised quotation showing the legal fee, VAT, identity checks, bank-transfer charges and any likely supplements.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"epc-cost\">Energy Performance Certificate cost<\/h2>\n<p>A valid Energy Performance Certificate is generally required before a property is marketed. GOV.UK states that an EPC is valid for <strong>10 years<\/strong>, so check the official register before ordering a new certificate.<\/p>\n<p>MoneyHelper estimates the cost of a new EPC at approximately <strong>\u00a360 to \u00a3120<\/strong>. Prices vary by assessor and property. Your estate agent may offer to arrange it, but compare the total price with accredited assessors.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mortgage-fees\">Mortgage fees when selling a house: exit fees and early repayment charges<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Mortgage fees when selling a house<\/strong> can include a lender administration or exit fee and, in some cases, an early repayment charge. The amount depends on your mortgage agreement and when the loan is repaid. Contact your lender before marketing the property. GOV.UK recommends checking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The outstanding mortgage balance.<\/li>\n<li>Whether an early repayment charge applies.<\/li>\n<li>Whether there is a mortgage exit or administration fee.<\/li>\n<li>Whether the mortgage can be moved, or \u201cported\u201d, to another property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An early repayment charge can be one of the largest additional costs because it may be calculated as a percentage of the outstanding loan. Do not assume that a house sale automatically removes the charge. Request a current redemption statement and confirm the applicable dates.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"leasehold-costs\">Leasehold selling costs<\/h2>\n<p>Leasehold flats and some houses commonly involve extra documents and administration. The buyer\u2019s conveyancer will usually need information about service charges, ground rent, buildings insurance, planned works, arrears and management arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>The Leasehold Advisory Service explains that sellers should try to obtain a management pack from the landlord or managing agent. The pack usually includes replies to the LPE1 form and information about the building.<\/p>\n<p>Possible leasehold charges include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The management or LPE1 pack.<\/li>\n<li>Updating an expired pack.<\/li>\n<li>Notice of transfer or charge.<\/li>\n<li>A deed of covenant.<\/li>\n<li>A certificate of compliance.<\/li>\n<li>Freeholder or managing-agent administration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is no single national price because charges depend on the freeholder or managing agent. Ask for the current fee schedule early, as delayed management information can also slow the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>For related preparation steps, read <a href=\"https:\/\/myfastoffer4u.com\/blog\/what-can-delay-a-house-sale-uk\/\">what can delay a house sale in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"moving-costs\">Removals, storage and cleaning<\/h2>\n<p>MoneyHelper places professional removal costs at approximately <strong>\u00a3400 to more than \u00a31,000<\/strong>. The amount depends on property size, distance, access, insurance, staffing and how much packing you do yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Other moving expenses may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Packing materials.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary storage.<\/li>\n<li>Professional cleaning.<\/li>\n<li>Waste or furniture removal.<\/li>\n<li>Mail redirection.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary accommodation.<\/li>\n<li>Pet transport or childcare on moving day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are not legal selling fees, but they affect the amount of money remaining after the move.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"repairs-marketing\">Repairs, presentation and optional marketing<\/h2>\n<p>Some sellers spend money preparing the property before it is listed. This may include decorating, garden work, cleaning, minor repairs, photography, floor plans or storage to reduce clutter.<\/p>\n<p>Before funding major improvements, compare the likely benefit with the cost and delay. A property does not always need to be renovated to sell. The right decision depends on its condition, local demand, likely buyer and your preferred timeline.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"capital-gains-tax\">Capital Gains Tax<\/h2>\n<p>Many people do not pay Capital Gains Tax when selling their only or main home because Private Residence Relief may apply. The conditions depend on how the property was owned and used.<\/p>\n<p>Tax is more likely to require attention when selling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A second home.<\/li>\n<li>A buy-to-let property.<\/li>\n<li>An inherited property.<\/li>\n<li>A property used partly and exclusively for business.<\/li>\n<li>A home that was not always your main residence.<\/li>\n<li>UK property while living outside the UK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the 2026\u201327 tax year, individual Capital Gains Tax can apply at <strong>18% and 24%<\/strong>, depending on taxable income and how much of the gain falls within the available basic-rate band. The calculation can involve acquisition costs, selling costs, improvement expenditure, losses, allowances and reliefs.<\/p>\n<p>GOV.UK states that when Capital Gains Tax is due on most UK property sales, it must normally be reported and paid within <strong>60 days of completion<\/strong>. Obtain professional tax advice when your position is not straightforward.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stamp-duty\">Do sellers pay Stamp Duty?<\/h2>\n<p>You do not pay Stamp Duty Land Tax simply because you are selling a property. However, if you are also buying another home, the purchase may attract:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stamp Duty Land Tax in England and Northern Ireland.<\/li>\n<li>Land Transaction Tax in Wales.<\/li>\n<li>Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in Scotland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are purchase costs, not fees charged for selling your existing home.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"scotland\">Selling costs in Scotland<\/h2>\n<p>Scotland uses a different selling process. Most sellers must provide a Home Report containing a <strong>Single Survey, Energy Report and Property Questionnaire<\/strong>. The price depends on the property and survey provider, so request several quotations.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Scottish process differs, do not rely solely on England-and-Wales estimates when budgeting for a Scottish sale.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"example\">Example: selling a \u00a3300,000 house<\/h2>\n<p>The following is a planning example rather than a quotation:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mfo-table-wrap\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Example cost for selling a 300000 pound property\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Expense<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Illustrative amount<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Estate agent at 1.42% including VAT<\/td>\n<td>\u00a34,260<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Solicitor or conveyancer<\/td>\n<td>\u00a31,300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EPC<\/td>\n<td>\u00a390<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Removals<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Illustrative total<\/th>\n<th scope=\"row\">\u00a36,350<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>This total excludes mortgage penalties, leasehold charges, tax, repairs, storage and the costs of purchasing another property.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"mfo-answer-box\" aria-label=\"Net proceeds example\">\n<h2>What might be left after selling costs and the mortgage?<\/h2>\n<p>The sale price is not the amount you keep.

Mortgage charges, leasehold administration, repairs, storage or Capital Gains Tax may also apply depending on the property and your circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3>Do sellers pay Stamp Duty?<\/h3>\n<p>A seller does not pay Stamp Duty Land Tax simply for selling. However, someone buying another property may owe the relevant transaction tax on that purchase, depending on where the new property is located.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need an EPC to sell my house?<\/h3>\n<p>A valid Energy Performance Certificate is generally required before a property is marketed, unless an exemption applies. An EPC is valid for 10 years, so check the official register before ordering a new one.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I pay Capital Gains Tax when selling my main home?<\/h3>\n<p>Many sellers receive Private Residence Relief when the property has been their only or main home and the relevant conditions are met. Tax may still apply to a second home, buy-to-let property or other circumstances, so obtain tax advice when needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I sell without an estate agent?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. A homeowner can sell privately, but then becomes responsible for pricing, marketing, viewings and negotiation. Legal conveyancing is still required to transfer ownership safely.<\/p>\n<h3>Are auction fees different?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. MoneyHelper indicates that auction charges can be around 2.5% of the sale price, with legal and advertising costs potentially added. Ask the auction provider for a complete seller-fee schedule and clarify whether the buyer also pays charges.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<h2>Plan your entire move<\/h2>\n<p>Selling costs are only one part of moving home.
