In short: The main costs of selling are the estate agent's fee (often a percentage plus VAT), conveyancing fees, an EPC if you don't have a valid one, any mortgage early repayment charge, and removal costs. If it isn't your main home, Capital Gains Tax may be due. There's no Stamp Duty for sellers. Compare agents on the price they achieve and the service, not just the fee.
