We will not a a choice ...like everything else under this govt.

Answer 2

So what ?

Average house down here about £300,000. 1.5% Estate Agents fees = £4,500 (if you are lucky - I know a lot expect 2% !).

Then there's the 3% rip-off tax = £9,000, legal & survey fees another £1,000+ not to mention Mortgage fees and actual moving van hire

So when it's going to cost £15,000+ to move, what's another £500 ?

Rather than move house and throw away £15k, a lot of people are just staying put and spending money on extenstions / improvements instead.
