could anyone tell me roughly what costs there are involved with buying a property - under 200,000 pounds, thanks

Hiya

Stamp duty, (unless the area is exempt) which is 1% of the property and solictors costs which should be under £1000, can't think of anything else.

Its a dam site more to buy and sell

spain

thanks thats really helpful, just want to get an idea of what costs there are - suspect things have changed since I last bought a place 15 years ago

Hi just to add........if the house you want to buy has a HIPS report you wont have to pay your solicitor for searches, because they are already done......And their are rumours that they could squash the stamp duty, in october. But this is only going to be a temporary squash on stamp duty.

thanks sans be handy if they do as this will be around the time we are buying all being well

Hi Sans

Hows it all going back in Blighty? Have you found a place to rent or buy. Let me know if you are happy to be back. Tony and I are still thinking hard about coming back.
Take care
