Payments and Deposits for purchasing a home
Your chosen conveyancer or solicitor will be able to help you through the first stages of purchasing – signing the sale contract and exchanging contracts with the seller. The buyer will be required to put down some money as a deposit, this is usually around 5%-10% of the final sale price.
The conveyancing process includes a number of bills to pay, including mortgage lender costs, before the sale is finalised. Usually the biggest cost will be Stamp Duty – this is a UK Government tax on land transfers.
There’s also Land Reg fees and property search fees, and various different costs that are included as disbursements. The conveyancer or solicitor work out all the required bills and let you know the final cost of moving.

Dorset is a county in South West England on the English Channel coast. The ceremonial county comprises the non-metropolitan county, which is governed by Dorset County Council, and the unitary authority areas of Poole and Bournemouth. Covering an area of 2,653 square kilometres (1,024 sq mi), Dorset borders Devon to the west, Somerset to the north-west, Wiltshire to the north-east, and Hampshire to the east. The county town is Dorchester which is in the south. After the reorganisation of local government in 1974 the county's border was extended eastward to incorporate the Hampshire towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch. Around half of the population lives in the South East Dorset conurbation, while the rest of the county is largely rural with a low population density.
The current average value in Dorset in May 2017 is £326,511. This has increased 0.88% from February 2017. Terraced properties sold for a current average value of £249,231 and semi-detached properties valued £279,887. In the past year property prices in Dorset have increased 2.32%.
