All lenders require building insurance. The lender may insist that they provide it on a special scheme, otherwise you may arrange your own.

An arrangement fee is usually payable for a fixed rate deal; most discount or variable rates have no fees.

An indemnity guarantee premium may apply.

Estate Agents’ fees will only be payable when you are selling a property. These range from 1% to 3% of the sale price.

Moving costs vary enormously. Make sure you get at least 3 quotes from reputable companies.
