A new analysis of the cost-of-moving suggests that the typical seller will incur expenses of £5,867 – and that rises hugely to £12,042 in London.
The largest expense is the estate agent fee; as a function of the sale price, this has inevitably risen as prices have.
Across the nation, the average fee currently stands at 1.54% which, based on the current average house price of £293,976, comes to £4,527.
