- Conveyancing/solicitor’s fees – these are the people who deal with the legal side of selling/buying houses and of course, this service doesn’t come for free. But your budget for this should depend on the size and style of house and the level of expertise you will need.
- Leasehold fees – as a leasehold, you will have to pay a yearly fee which covers maintenance charges, ground rent and building insurance premiums. These fees can fluctuate year by year, so it’s always worth keeping some money aside, so you’re not caught short when it comes to paying your leasehold fees.
- Parking permits – it’s worth asking your estate agents what the parking situation is and if you’ll need to purchase a permit etc for street parking.
