Mortgage Buying Fees

There are so many fees to consider when you are arranging a mortgage on a property. Firstly there is the Mortgage arrangement fee. These vary enormously but usually cost £500 – £1,500. In some cases this is non-refundable, even if the house purchase falls through. There is also a valuation fee for a survey. This is to check that the property exists and it offers the lender sufficient security for the loan. This usually costs around £250.

Legal fees cost around a couple of hundred pounds but if you have to pay for your conveyancing, you’re looking at around £500 – £750. Finally there is Stamp duty which won’t be included even if your lender will cover legal fees. The strange thing here is the stamp duty tax rate is set at an absolute rather than marginal level. In simple terms – rather than you paying 4% stamp duty on everything above £250,000 you pay 4% on the whole amount.
