Moving House Costs People £30,000 Over A Lifetime

Published on Friday, Sep 14 2012

Research has revealed that the average Briton spends almost £30,000 moving house in their lifetime.

Really Moving – the home services company who conducted the research found that, rather than Stamp Duty being responsible for the figure it is actually fees imposed by estate agents that rack up the spend.

With moving house being seen as a significant life event on a par with divorce, the expenses incurred can’t be doing much to ease the stress.

Typically, moving costs in the UK for non-first time buyers tend to be due to:

  •          Estate agent fees
  •          Stamp Duty
  •          Conveyancing
  •          Homebuyer’s Report
  •          Energy Performance Certificates

Some of these can be controlled by shopping around for the best deal but others cannot.

One way to really cut costs when moving is to thinking about packing and removal and how much time and money can be saved there.
