Buying a home
Since the seller pays the cost of the estate agent, internet site or auctioneer, it makes no financial difference what route you choose to buy a home. You will however, have to find the cash to pay for a survey of your new home, legal fees, mortgage fees and the killer stamp duty. This is payable on a sliding scale from 1% on properties worth £125,000 (£150,000 in certain areas) up to 4% on properties worth £500,001 or more.
