Q:Hello,
We, like others buying a new build were advised to use a particular solicitor. We did and we have chased things through in terms of the info we wanted back and confirmation of work that we wanted doing before exchange.

Q:This is the plan for tomorrow, it wasn't meant to be that way!
Our buyer has messed us about so much throughout this sale and is still doing it. They were supposed to sign on Tuesday but it turns out there was a problem with the mortgage.

there is alot of information out there about the cost of buying a house but please could someone point me in the direction of how much it costs to sell a house.

many thanks:
