Buying and Selling ...

Selling your home

Unless you are a first-time buyer the chances are you have a property to sell before you can buy your next property.

There are costs involved in selling your house: the cost of finding a buyer and the legal costs of selling.

To find a buyer you will, more than likely, use an estate agent. Your estate agent will charge a fee expressed as a percentage of the sale price. The size of this fee will vary depending on the state of the housing market and whether you have appointed a sole agent or multiple agencies.

The legal process of selling a house can be complicated and you will need to appoint a solicitor to do this work on your behalf.
