Unless a fee says otherwise, percentage fees are applied to the house price. The banks, lawyers and the sellers (developer or individual) confirm the exact figures at offer-letter stage, and some costs can be negotiated. However, you should prepare with this in mind as they are more accurate than not.
Bank fees are quoted from Giddaa Bank, Metro Bank and Peter Bank Limited.
