The cost of moving

wow just had a shock on how much it costs to move. I know the cost depends on selling and buying price but with stamp duty and VAT it all mounts up.

You pay VAT on the charges you pay when selling and then get screwed again by paying stamp duty and VAT on charges on the purchase.
Perhaps not so bad if you buy cheaper then you sell but buying equal or more expensive.... shock

I'm not sure how fluid the hosing market is but if a bit slow/stagnant, stamp duty and or VAT being reduced may make a difference.
