property. At the less expensive part


of the market, if you move from a £25,000 property - not many of those in the Ribble Valley nowl - the average estate agency fee is £757, a little more than half the £100,000 sale charge of £1,342, which itself is near­ ly a fifth down on five years


ago. Solicitors' fees vary


Woolwich shows that the professionals’ charges and costs went up last year, but they are still less than in


depending on where you live, according to the sur­ vey. The sale of a £100,000 property is £520 in East Anglia and £341 in York­ shire and Humberside - the area with the least expen- side agents and the one in


which buyers are more like­ ly to be gazumped. In the top money brack­
