4 Money-Saving Tips for Moving House

Moving house may be one of life’s greatest milestones but it is also one of the most expensive. With so many different costs to consider ahead of time, fees can add up. There are a number of steps you can take to cut costs where it matters. Continue reading to find out how to save money and streamline the entire moving process today.

1. Plan ahead

When it comes to moving house, preparation is key. By planning ahead, you can factor in each individual expense and reorganise your finances as necessary. This can prevent you from being left out of pocket or being slapped with an unexpected bill or invoice down the line. Start by establishing a financial planner with key deadlines and dates a number of months in advance. By knowing exactly when and how much you must make a payment, you are less likely to tap into any emergency savings funds to cover the cost.

2. Compare energy providers

Whether your household bills have skyrocketed in your current home, or you are just looking for new ways to cut costs, you may be able to save hundreds by comparing energy providers. A growing number of companies also offer one-off offers or promotions for new or returning customers so you can continue to save money where it matters. Moving house is a great opportunity to assess your monthly outgoings and make adjustments as necessary. Your new neighbourhood may benefit from lower energy costs. By shopping around for the best deal, you can free up cash to be spent on exciting tasks associated with moving into a new property such as exterior renovations, soft furnishings, and interior design.

3. Hire a storage company

Hiring an external storage company can protect your belongings as well as your pockets. It can also save you a considerable amount of time, effort, and money in the long run. Moving house can emphasise just how many belongings you own and how difficult it can be to pack your entire life into small boxes to be bundled into the back of a van. By getting rid of any unnecessary or seasonal items, you can streamline the moving process from start to finish and unpack at a pace that suits you and your lifestyle. Decluttering your home beforehand can also ensure you are only storing items you are likely to want or need again down the line.

4. Redirect your mail

Remembering to redirect your mail ahead of time is one of the most important steps involved in the house moving journey. There is no universal timeframe, but most homeowners begin the process around three weeks in advance of their move-in date. You may be required to pay a small fee, but this is negligible compared to the cost of tracking down and retrieving important files or documents that have wound up in the wrong hands and becoming a victim of identity theft. Alternatively, you may be able to redirect your mail manually. If your name and address is only attached to a number of companies or suppliers, simply contact them and inform them of your upcoming change of address. By doing so, you may be able to save even more money.

When it comes to moving house, there are several up-front and hidden costs to consider. From solicitor costs and valuation fees to estate agent bills and stamp duty, you must ensure your finances are in order before you even consider putting your house on the market. To do so, you should plan ahead, compare energy providers, hire a storage company, and remember to redirect your mail.
