Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water and Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million.Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town) in particular is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links with Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

How do I find out how much stamp duty I have to pay?
You always have to complete a stamp duty declaration to HMRC whenever you buy a home and this will be done on your behalf by your solicitor.
If the home you've bought is (or will be after you've sold your existing only home) your only home and primary residence and the price of your new home exceeds £125,000; you have to pay stamp duty, initially at 2% of the value exceeding £125,000.
If the home you've bought is a second home, you have to pay stamp duty on it if the value exceeds £40,000. For values ranging between £40,000 to £125,000, you have to pay stamp duty at 3% of the amount exceeding £40,000.
For property values exceeding £125,000, you additionally have to pay stamp duty of 5% of the value exceeding £125,000.
The higher the buying price, the higher the percentage of stamp duty you will pay. The next band covers buying prices ranging between £925,001 and £1.5 million and the stamp duty rates are 5% and 8% respectively.
