Costs for buying Jersey property
At Ogier, we're dedicated to guiding you through every step of this journey, ensuring clarity and confidence in your property purchasing decisions.
Mortgage fees
Your mortgage provider will detail these, including any arrangement or booking fees, property valuation costs, stamp duty on your mortgage and the expenses for their legal representation in the transaction.
Stamp duty fees
These vary based on the property's purchase price and your status as a buyer. Jersey offers discounted rates for first time buyers. Check if you're eligible. Use our calculator to determine how much you will need to pay.
Lawyer's fees
We'll provide a fee estimate before you commit, which will vary depending on your transaction's complexity and any additional services you might need, such as making a will. Discover our full list of services for buyers.
Surveyor's fees
While your mortgage provider will arrange for the property's valuation, you might want peace of mind regarding the property's condition or the accuracy of its description (for example, boundaries). In such cases, consider having an independent survey conducted.
Buildings insurance
It will be a condition of your mortgage for you to have building insurance for your property, so it is imperative to factor this cost into your budget.
Other fees
Depending on your circumstances, these might include moving expenses, costs for any necessary renovations, and contents insurance. While not always necessary, it's wise to factor these into your budget.
