What this moving house cost estimator includes
This tool is designed for people who are selling one home and buying another. It helps you estimate sale proceeds, the deposit needed for your next property, your likely transaction costs and the extra setup costs that can turn up around moving day.
Typical costs when moving house
- Estate agent fees
- Selling and buying conveyancing fees
- Stamp duty, Land Transaction Tax or LBTT
- Survey, valuation and mortgage product costs
- Removal company and packing costs
- Storage, cleaning and utility setup
- Overlap costs if both properties run at the same time
- Immediate repairs, decorating or replacement appliances
Why the cash position matters
Many people focus on the deposit alone, but the real moving budget is often much larger once legal fees, taxes, removals and setup costs are included. This calculator shows whether your estimated sale proceeds look enough to cover the move, or whether you may need extra cash on top.
This estimator provides general planning figures only and does not constitute financial, tax or legal advice.
