Moving costs climb

23rd September 2016

Homeowners' moving costs have increased by around £870 over the past year to reach nearly £11,000 on average. Rising house prices have driven the increase, pushing up stamp duty, estate agency and conveyancing fees, Lloyds Bank said, taking the typical cost of moving home to £10,996. In London, home movers can expect to pay £4,732 more than a year ago, with the average cost of moving there now standing at £31,416.
