According to Barclays, the cost of moving house has risen more slowly than house prices since 2000.
For those at the lower end of the property ladder, the cost of moving from an averaged priced terraced home priced at £149,906 to a semi detached worth £174,744 is £5,304 in England and Wales.
In 2000, home movers paid £3,333 to move from the same type of home, which is an increase of 59%.
Our view
Property has been a star performer whilst stockmarkets suffered over the last few years - as we move into a more stable property market expect the costs of moving to catch up with the actual costs of buying.
