Home buyers can expect to spend almost £4,000 on top of the cost of their new property

Home buyers can expect to spend almost £4,000 on top of the cost of their new property – for legal fees, surveying costs and other removal bills.

Researchers found that while the price of the average home is now £230,776.00, additional costs leaves the purchaser having to spend far more. A study carried out among 2,000 adults who have moved in the last ten years found the average bill for unexpected costs is £3,823.88.
