The average mover now faces a total bill of £51,826, with a 15% mortgage deposit costing £43,585, making up the largest share. However, changes to Stamp Duty relief thresholds have also driven costs higher. One year ago, movers paid an average of £1,433 in Stamp Duty, but this rose to £2,028 before 1 April and now stands at £4,528, a 216% year-on-year increase.
