Selling a house is possibly the biggest transaction that you’ll ever undertake and within that transaction is the cost of estate agency fees. It is a large amount of money and to avoid paying those hefty costs, you need to use RealEstateTalk.
In most house sale cases; the seller sells their residential property in order to buy another. There are lots of reasons why people move; upsizing, downsizing, moving area, retiring, divorce and others too. Often, people underestimate the cost involved in selling a house and are shocked to find out that a considerable portion of their sales’ proceeds are taken away, leaving them with less than they anticipated and even a gap in their finances that prevents them buying another property they really want.
The top three costs that sellers must pay attention to are:
Here’s an illustrated example that considers the most common cost elements. Of course, there may be other costs associated with the sale, such as capital gains tax, home report (for Scotland only) and more, these must also be considered, depending on the seller’s situation.
| Cost element | Amount |
|---|---|
| EPC Cost | £120 |
| Agents commission | £5,120 |
| Conveyancing fees | £1,200 |
| Mortgage repayment | £2,500 |
| Removal costs | £1,000 |
| Total Cost | £9,940 |
This example is for illustration purpose only. We have considered most common cost elements.
There could be other costs such as capital gain tax, home report (Scotland) which should be considered depending upon seller’s situation.
In the above illustration, you can note that the estate agent’s fee constitutes around 52% of the total cost, followed by mortgage repayment costs, which is approximately 25% and the conveyancing costs at 12%.
Now let’s talk about ways to reduce the costs.
