Legal Fees – At Bluestone we work closely with a number of reputable solicitors, ask us for a personalised quote.

Stamp Duty – The amount of stamp duty tax will depend on how much the property that you are looking to buy is worth

Detailed Survey – A homebuyers or structural survey can prevent you from forking out cash in the future as it will alert you to any substantial repairs and works needed to be carried out, this can sometimes influence a buyers decision.
