The Cost Of Moving

There are a number of factors to take into consideration if you’re thinking about moving house, and of course one of the most important of those is the overall cost. Whichever way you look at it, moving isn’t a cheap process, but it’s reassuring to know there are ways in which you can at least keep the costs down. If you thought it would set you back a small fortune to move, it’s perhaps time to think again.

For those who are currently trying to calculate what the overall price will be when you move, there are several factors that will need to be included, such as:

  • Estate agency fees
  • Legal fees
  • Home surveys
  • Removals costs
  • Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT)
  • Property certifications

…and more. Needless to say, if you’re buying a property you will have to make sure you can afford all of these outgoings and still be able to meet your monthly mortgage repayments. Thankfully, the specialists at MML Law will be able to talk you through all the potential payments that you’ll need to make, and of course will always listen and respond to any questions you may have.

One of the best ways to keep a closer control on the spending is to shop around for the services that you require. You’re almost certainly going to need a removals company, for example, but always remember that the quoted prices can vary tremendously. You can save money by asking for a range of quotes, and could save even more if you agree to move on a quieter day of the week when the movers are not in as great a demand.

The need to budget accordingly has become even more pressing in recent times, due to the ever increasing price of property. House prices have risen dramatically in all parts of the UK over the past five years, for example, and they show little sign of slowing down. The amount of money you have set aside for the actual move could be affected by the costlier flat or house you may be buying.
