Some more expenses


So, selling a house involves the odd extra expense.

Legal bills - If a company is buying your house they may pay for some/all of your legal bills (mine is). I have picked a solicitor that uses email (as it's faster).

Energy Performance Certificate - As I live in the EU I have to have my home "energy rated" and receive an EPC before I can sell it. I have paid a company that will rush this through and email me the certificate (which I can forward to my solicitor).

House clearing - Finally, I have to get rid of the stuff left in my house that not only didn't go to the US but got rejected by my family.
